Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
- 3 tablespoons harissa paste
- 6 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce each sweet potato multiple times with a fork.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 45-50 minutes until tender.
- While the potatoes roast, mix harissa paste and crumbled goat cheese in a bowl until combined. Adjust spices if desired.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Fill each potato with the harissa-goat cheese mixture generously.
- Return stuffed potatoes to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until heated through and slightly bubbly. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
