Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then dry them with a paper towel. Rub each potato with a light coating of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper.
3. Place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until they’re soft when pierced with a fork. Larger sweet potatoes may take longer to cook. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 2: Roast the Beets

1. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the beets. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss the cubed beets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
3. Spread the beets on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until tender. Stir them halfway through cooking for even roasting. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Cranberry Sage Pesto

1. In a food processor, add fresh cranberries (or soaked, drained dried cranberries), sage leaves, parsley, walnuts, and minced garlic.
2. Pulse several times until the ingredients are finely chopped. With the food processor running, gradually pour in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste, and pulse again to combine. Adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer the pesto to a small bowl and set aside.

Step 4: Assemble the Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

1. Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, carefully slice each one open lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
2. Use a fork to gently fluff the flesh, creating a well in the center for the toppings.

Step 5: Add the Toppings

1. Spoon a generous amount of roasted beets into each sweet potato, then top with pieces of burrata.
2. Drizzle each stuffed sweet potato with cranberry sage pesto, ensuring each bite gets a hint of the cranberry tartness and sage aroma.
3. Optionally, garnish with fresh sage leaves and an extra drizzle of olive oil for added flavor and presentation.
