Description
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Burrata, Walnuts & Sage Pesto is a delightful dish that combines the sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes with the creaminess of burrata and the vibrant flavors of sage pesto.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup fresh sage leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 ball of fresh burrata, torn into pieces
- 1/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- A sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork, then rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until tender.
- While the sweet potatoes bake, make the pesto. In a food processor, combine sage leaves, parsley, Parmesan, toasted walnuts, and garlic. Pulse until everything is finely chopped. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until you reach a smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, carefully slice them open and gently fluff the insides with a fork. Spoon a generous dollop of sage pesto into each sweet potato, then add pieces of torn burrata on top. Sprinkle toasted walnuts over the burrata.
- Add a final crack of black pepper, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (if using), and a drizzle of extra pesto for extra flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to choose sweet potatoes that are medium in size for even cooking.
- You can adjust the amount of garlic in the pesto according to your taste preferences.
- For a vegan option, substitute burrata with a plant-based cheese.
