Sweet potatoes and goat cheese are a match made in heaven. This Sweet Potato Goat Cheese Sage Recipe is creamy, savory and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh sage chopped
- 100 g goat cheese crumbled
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1 teaspoon honey optional for sweetness
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Set the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
- Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Season the Sweet Potatoes
- Add olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Toss well to coat evenly on all cubes.
Add Fresh Sage
- Mix chopped sage into the sweet potatoes. Ensure each piece has some sage for flavor.
Spread on Baking Sheet
- Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding for even roasting.
Roast in Oven
- Place in preheated oven. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until sweet potatoes are golden and tender.
Crumble Goat Cheese
- While potatoes roast, crumble goat cheese into small pieces. Set aside for topping.
Add Honey (Optional)
- If using honey, drizzle it lightly over roasted sweet potatoes to enhance natural sweetness.
Top with Goat Cheese
- Once roasted, remove sweet potatoes from oven. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese evenly over them.
Garnish with Parsley
- Add fresh parsley on top for color and a fresh taste. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Tip 1: Use sweet potatoes with orange flesh for the best color and flavor.
- Tip 2: Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure they roast evenly.
- Tip 3: Fresh sage works best, but dried sage can substitute in a pinch.
- Variation 1: Add toasted walnuts for extra crunch and nuttiness.
- Variation 2: Swap goat cheese with feta for a slightly saltier taste.
