Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 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
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce sweet potatoes multiple times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for about 45 minutes until tender.
  2. While sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the sage pesto by blending fresh sage leaves, pine nuts (or walnuts), garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth yet slightly chunky.
  3. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked and slightly cooled, slice them open lengthwise. Fluff the insides with a fork before adding burrata cheese generously. Top with toasted walnuts and drizzle the sage pesto over everything.
  4. Serve warm and enjoy!
