Ingredients

Scale

4 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
8 ounces burrata cheese, torn into pieces
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
¼ cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
¼ cup pomegranate seeds (optional, for freshness and crunch)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare and Roast the Sweet Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato a few times to allow steam to escape. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Roast for 40–45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 2: Toast the Walnuts

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add the walnuts and toast them for about 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once fragrant and slightly golden, remove them from the heat and let them cool.

Step 3: Slice and Fluff the Sweet Potatoes

Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly before handling. Slice each potato down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through. Use a fork to gently fluff the insides, creating space for the toppings.

Step 4: Add the Burrata

Tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces and gently place them inside the sweet potatoes. The residual heat from the potatoes will slightly melt the burrata, making it extra creamy and delicious.

Step 5: Garnish and Drizzle

Sprinkle the fresh basil and toasted walnuts over the burrata-stuffed sweet potatoes. Drizzle with honey and balsamic glaze for a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. For an extra pop of color and crunch, scatter some pomegranate seeds on top.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately while warm. These stuffed sweet potatoes are delicious on their own or paired with a side salad for a complete meal.
