 2 pounds deep orange sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced diagonally 1/4 in. thick and 3 to 4 in. long
 2 tablespoons olive oil
 1 teaspoon kosher salt
 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
 1/2 cup diced pancetta
 8 ounces cold brie cheese, sliced 1/8 in. thick
 1/2 cup roasted salted pistachios, chopped
 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat. Arrange in a single layer on prepared baking sheets and roast until browned on top, about 30 minutes. Flip slices over and roast until browned, another 20 to 30 minutes.
