Loaded Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Cranberries, Feta & Walnuts

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45–50 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• ⅓ cup dried cranberries
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Season the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Rub each one with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then pierce several times with a fork.
3. Roast Until Soft: Arrange the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40–50 minutes, until tender and easily pierced with a fork.
4. Prepare the Toppings: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, chop the walnuts and fresh parsley. Set aside the dried cranberries and crumbled feta.
5. Slice and Fluff: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Make a lengthwise slit in each potato without cutting completely through. Gently open and fluff the soft centers with a fork.
6. Add the Feta: Divide the crumbled feta evenly among the sweet potatoes, spooning it into their fluffy centers.
7. Top with Cranberries and Walnuts: Sprinkle each sweet potato with dried cranberries and chopped walnuts for a delicious combination of sweetness and crunch.
8. Drizzle with Honey: Pour a little honey over each loaded sweet potato, allowing it to coat the toppings with a beautiful golden glaze.
9. Garnish and Serve: Finish with freshly chopped parsley and optional mint leaves. Serve warm and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, savory, creamy, and crunchy flavors.
