Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
100g Brown’s Chevre (Goat Cheese)
1 tbsp utuuru honey (plus extra for drizzling)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
1 tbsp roasted cashews or walnuts, chopped
Handful of baby spinach or microgreens, for garnish
Preparation
Bake the Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork, rub lightly with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bake on a tray for 40–45 minutes or until soft and caramelized.
Prepare the Chevre Filling:
While the sweet potatoes are baking, mix Brown’s Chevre with 1 tbsp utuuru honey, cinnamon, and a touch of black pepper until creamy.
Slice and Fill:
Once baked, slice the sweet potatoes down the center (don’t cut all the way through). Gently mash the interior with a fork to loosen it, then spoon in the Chevre mixture.
Garnish & Serve:
Drizzle with more utuuru honey, sprinkle with fresh thyme or rosemary, toasted nuts, and a few leaves of baby spinach or microgreens.
Health Benefits:
This dish brings together nutrient-dense sweet potatoes, which are rich in fiber, beta-carotene (Vitamin A), and slow-releasing carbohydrates—perfect for sustained energy and digestive health.
Brown’s Chevre (Goat Cheese) adds a digestive-friendly dose of protein and calcium, while being lower in lactose and easier to digest than most cow’s milk cheeses. Combined with local honey, this dish supports gut health, balances blood sugar naturally, and offers an anti-inflammatory boost.
Tip:
For extra flavor, toss a few garlic cloves or onion slices into the oven while the sweet potatoes bake, and serve them on the side.
