Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 0.25 cup pecans
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Rub the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are roasting, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, stirring until the mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream.
Roughly chop the pecans and toast them lightly in a dry skillet over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice each potato lengthwise down the middle and gently fluff the flesh with a fork to create a cavity.
Drizzle the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the sweet potato halves.
Top each potato with crumbled goat cheese, toasted pecans, and a light sprinkle of fresh rosemary.
Finish with a drizzle of maple syrup and a pinch of the remaining salt and pepper (adjust to taste).
Serve immediately and enjoy your Gourmet Sweet Potato Supreme!
