Can I prepare these sweet potato rounds in advance?

You can slice the sweet potatoes and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking. Just toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper right before roasting.

What can I substitute for goat cheese?

If you’re not a fan of goat cheese, cream cheese or feta can work well as alternatives; just adjust the amount of cream if needed

Are these suitable for a vegan diet?

For a vegan version, replace goat cheese with a plant-based cream cheese and skip the heavy cream or use coconut cream instead.
