Introduction

A charcuterie board is a delightful and visually appealing dish that’s perfect for gatherings or a casual snack. Combining roasted sweet potato wedges with creamy baked brie and an assortment of cured meats and fresh accompaniments, it offers a variety of flavors and textures to enjoy.

A round white wooden board is arranged with many fresh foods in a circular pattern. In the center, a small silver bowl holds creamy melted cheese topped with green herbs, with a carrot stick dipped inside. Around the bowl, there are bright orange roasted sweet potato wedges on the left. To the left of that, bunches of green leafy salad sit next to halves of red cherry tomatoes. At the bottom, green olives are placed with more green salad leaves. On the bottom right, thin slices of light pink cured meat are spread out. To the top right, small green pickles sit next to another pile of green salad and red roasted peppers. The whole arrangement is on a white marbled surface with a soft pink cloth nearby. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

3 sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
2 tbsp olive oil
1½ tsp thyme leaves
1 small whole brie
6 slices prosciutto
6 slices salami
12 cornichons
12 mixed olives
12 Peppadew peppers
16 baby plum tomatoes, halved
3 handfuls of rocket, dressed with 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/gas mark 6. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, 1 teaspoon of thyme, and seasoning until well coated.
Step 2: Arrange the sweet potatoes on a non-stick baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender.
Step 3: While the wedges cook, remove the brie from its packaging and place it in a snug ovenproof dish. Cut slits into the top and sprinkle with the remaining thyme leaves.
Step 4: During the last 10 minutes of the sweet potatoes’ roasting time, bake the brie alongside them until soft and warm.
Step 5: Place the baked brie in the center of a large board or platter. Arrange prosciutto, salami, cornichons, olives, Peppadew peppers, baby plum tomatoes, and dressed rocket around it for guests to help themselves.

Tips & Variations

Substitute rocket with arugula or baby spinach if preferred, and try adding some toasted nuts or fresh figs for extra texture and sweetness.
For a vegetarian option, replace cured meats with grilled vegetables or marinated artichokes.
Use flavored olive oils, such as garlic or chili, to toss the sweet potatoes for added depth.

Storage

Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat sweet potato wedges in the oven to maintain crispness, and bake the brie again gently before serving. Fresh items like tomatoes and rocket are best served fresh and should be consumed promptly.
