If you’re looking for an easy way to enjoy sweet potatoes, this recipe by Charlyne Mattox is a delightful choice. The cheesy roasted sweet potatoes combine the sugary flavor of sweet potatoes with the rich taste of melted cheese.
Ingredients:
– 4 small sweet potatoes, halved lengthwise
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
– 3 ounces fontina cheese, grated
– 1.5 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Coat the halved sweet potatoes with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Place them cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until they’re golden brown and tender, about 18 to 22 minutes.
3. Switch your oven to broil.
4. Mix the grated fontina and Parmesan cheeses in a small bowl.
5. Turn the potatoes cut-side up and sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over them. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
6. Add additional black pepper if desired and serve warm.
This dish pairs perfectly as a side or a stand-alone snack and offers a balanced blend of sweet and savory without the need for boiling or mashing.
