Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 balls of burrata cheese (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh sage leaves
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts (or walnuts)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for about 45 minutes until tender.
  2. While the sweet potatoes bake, prepare the sage pesto by blending fresh sage leaves, pine nuts (or walnuts), garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth.
  3. Once baked and cool enough to handle, slice the sweet potatoes open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Add generous spoonfuls of burrata cheese on top, followed by toasted walnuts and drizzle with sage pesto.
  4. Serve warm with optional garnishes like fresh parsley or an extra drizzle of olive oil.
