Maple Pecan Brie Sweet Potatoes

Warm sweet potatoes with Brie, toasted pecans, and cranberry glaze for a sweet and savory experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 115 grams Brie cheese, rind removed and sliced
  • 45 grams pecans, chopped and toasted
  • 14 grams unsalted butter
  • 15 milliliters maple syrup
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 120 milliliters cranberry sauce (whole berry or smooth)
  • 15 milliliters orange juice
  • 2.5 milliliters maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and arrange on a baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes or until flesh is tender when pierced.
  2. While sweet potatoes roast, combine cranberry sauce, orange juice, and maple syrup in a small saucepan. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  3. Remove roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice each open lengthwise and lightly mash the interior with a fork. Incorporate unsalted butter, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper, mixing gently.
  4. Layer the warm sweet potatoes with slices of Brie cheese and sprinkle toasted chopped pecans over the top.
  5. Drizzle each stuffed potato with the prepared cranberry glaze. Return to the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the Brie begins to melt. Serve immediately.

Notes

Roasting sweet potatoes directly on the baking tray ensures even cooking and caramelization of natural sugars.
