Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • 1 cup walnuts (raw, halves or pieces)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen pitted cherries
  • 8 ounces young brie cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scrub and dice the sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. If peeling, do that first. Toss the sweet potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme or rosemary until lightly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
  4. After 15 minutes, add the walnuts to the baking sheet, gently tossing them with the sweet potatoes, and return to the oven for another 10-12 minutes.
  5. Remove the baking sheet and scatter the pitted cherries over the sweet potato and walnut mixture. Toss gently and return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes.
  6. Distribute the cubed brie evenly over the hot mixture and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the brie is soft and beginning to melt.
  7. Serve immediately, optionally drizzling with balsamic glaze or honey and garnishing with fresh parsley or chives.

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure not to overcrowd the pan for even roasting. You can substitute walnuts with pecans or hazelnuts, and brie can be replaced with Camembert or goat cheese. For added sweetness, consider drizzling maple syrup or honey before roasting.
