Baked Sweet Potato Goat Cheese (Printable Version)
Sweet potatoes, goat cheese, walnuts, and honey combine for a simple, flavorful dish with minimal prep.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
2 medium orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
02 -
60 ml soft goat cheese, at room temperature
03 -
30 g walnuts, chopped and lightly toasted
04 -
15–30 ml honey, for drizzling
05 -
Olive oil, for roasting
06 -
Salt, to taste
07 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
08 -
Fresh thyme leaves or microgreens, for garnish (optional)
# Steps To Follow:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Wash sweet potatoes and pierce each several times with a fork. Rub with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Arrange directly on the oven rack or a foil-lined tray. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes, until tender and the skin begins to caramelise.
02 -
While the sweet potatoes roast, toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Allow goat cheese to sit at room temperature for easier spreading.
03 -
Slice roasted sweet potatoes open lengthwise without cutting through completely. Gently fluff the inside with a fork. Spread a generous amount of goat cheese over each. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts and drizzle with honey. Finish with cracked black pepper and garnish with thyme leaves or microgreens if desired.
# Notes and Tips:

Allow goat cheese to soften well for effortless spreading over warm sweet potatoes.
