Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Avocado, Burrata, and Hot Honey Recipe


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sweet Potatoes:

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Filling:

  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced or mashed
  • 8 oz burrata cheese, torn into pieces
  • Fresh basil or cilantro leaves (for garnish)

For the Hot Honey:

  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional, for tang)

Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Pierce each sweet potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape while roasting.
  • Rub the sweet potatoes with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes for 45-60 minutes, depending on their size, until they are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.

Step 2: Prepare the Hot Honey

  • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the hot honey. In a small saucepan, combine the honey and red pepper flakes.
  • Heat the mixture over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to infuse the honey with the spicy flavor. If you prefer a tangy twist, stir in the apple cider vinegar.
  • Remove from heat and let the hot honey cool to room temperature. The longer it sits, the spicier it gets.

Step 3: Slice and Stuff the Sweet Potatoes

  • Once the sweet potatoes are roasted and slightly cooled, cut a slit down the center of each one, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Gently push the sides of each sweet potato to open it up, creating a pocket for the filling.

Step 4: Add the Avocado and Burrata

  • Stuff the center of each sweet potato with slices of ripe avocado or mashed avocado, depending on your preference.
  • Tear the burrata cheese into smaller pieces and add it on top of the avocado. The creamy burrata will melt slightly from the warmth of the sweet potatoes, making every bite rich and indulgent.

Step 5: Drizzle with Hot Honey and Garnish

  • Drizzle each stuffed sweet potato with the prepared hot honey. Adjust the amount based on your desired level of sweetness and heat.
  • Garnish with fresh basil or cilantro leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
