Quinoa and Goat Cheese Stuffed Sweet Potato

SERVES 4 / PREP TIME: 15 MINUTES / COOK TIME: 1 HOUR

It doesn’t get any easier than this recipe! The natural sweetness of the sweet potato paired with the creamy goat cheese is a match made in heaven.

4 sweet potatoes

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

¾ cup quinoa, rinsed

½ cup crumbled goat cheese

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

1.Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

2.Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are semisoft.

3.While the sweet potatoes are in the oven, cook the quinoa according to the package instructions.

4.In a medium mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, honey, and rosemary, and season with salt and black pepper.

5.Once the quinoa is done cooking, fold it into the goat cheese mixture.

6.Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven but leave the oven on. When the sweet potatoes are cool enough, carefully cut each open lengthwise. Scoop out each sweet potato and stuff it with the quinoa and goat cheese mixture. Place back in the oven at 400°F for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is gooey, golden, and slightly melted.

Ingredient tip: I like to make large amounts of quinoa on a weekly basis and use it in recipes throughout the week. Once it’s cooked, you can throw it in soups, use it in a stir-fry, or toss it on a salad. Quinoa typically doubles after it’s cooked, so when I plan on using it for the week, I’ll make 2½ cups dried to get 5 cups cooked.
