  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 6 oz brie cheese, sliced
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries or 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1–2 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub sweet potatoes and pierce them with a fork several times.
  2. Roast sweet potatoes for 45–60 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  3. While roasting, prepare cranberry glaze: In a saucepan, simmer cranberries, orange juice, and brown sugar (if using) until berries pop and sauce thickens. Set aside.
  4. Toast pecans in a pan with butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until caramelized. Set aside.
  5. When sweet potatoes are done, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
  6. Insert slices of brie into each sweet potato, allowing it to melt slightly.
  7. Top with maple pecans and drizzle with cranberry glaze.
  8. Return to the oven for 5–10 minutes to allow everything to melt and meld together.
  9. Serve immediately while hot and gooey.

Notes

  • Substitute goat cheese for a tangier flavor.
  • Add bacon or shredded chicken for extra protein.
  • Use dried cranberries for a more savory twist.
  • Swap pecans with chopped walnuts or almonds if desired.
  • Make vegan with plant-based brie and vegan butter.
  • Reheat in oven for best texture; microwave works for speed.
