Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 425°F [225°C] and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

    Coat the sweet potatoes with 30 ml (2 tablespoons) oil, season with salt and pepper, and spread the slices across the pan in one layer. Roast for 15 minutes; turn the slices over and roast for another 10 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides and soft all the way through.

    In a small bowl, stir together the prunes, the remaining 15 ml (1 tablespoon) oil and the vinegar.

    Top the sweet potatoes with equal amounts of cheese and prunes. Roast for 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Sprinkle with walnuts and basil.
