Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes with Brie, Cranberries, and Rosemary


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

  1. Bake the Potatoes:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
    • Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  1. Cool and Scoop:
    • Once the sweet potatoes are baked, allow them to cool slightly.
    • Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving a small border around the skin to maintain their shape.
  2. Combine Ingredients:
    • To the sweet potato flesh, add the brie cheese, dried cranberries, chopped rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
    • Mix until well combined. The warmth of the sweet potatoes will help the brie melt slightly, creating a creamy filling.

Step 3: Stuff and Bake

  1. Stuff the Potatoes:
    • Spoon the sweet potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly to create a generous portion.
  2. Bake Again:
    • Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the baking sheet.
    • Bake in the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Drizzle with Honey:
    • If desired, drizzle the tops of the sweet potatoes with honey for a touch of sweetness that complements the savory and tart flavors.
  2. Serve Warm:
    • Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.
