Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into rounds approximately half an inch thick.
Toss the rounds in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until thoroughly coated.
Arrange the rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and the centers are tender.
Combine the softened goat cheese, minced garlic, and maple syrup in a small mixing bowl.
Whip the mixture with a fork until it reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.
Remove the roasted potato rounds from the oven and let them cool for five minutes.
Dollop the whipped goat cheese mixture onto each cooled potato round.
Finish by garnishing with fresh herbs and a pinch of salt or cinnamon if desired.
