• 2–3 oz brie cheese, cut into small chunks (rind optional)

How to Make Brie Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Step 1 – Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub sweet potatoes, prick with a fork, and bake on a lined sheet for 40–45 minutes, or until soft and tender.

Step 2 – Prepare Maple Pecans:
In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add pecans, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until coated and glossy, about 2–3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3 – Stuff with Brie:
Once sweet potatoes are roasted, slice them open and fluff the insides gently with a fork. Add chunks of brie to the center so it melts into the warm potato.

Step 4 – Top & Serve:
Spoon the maple pecans over the brie-filled potatoes and drizzle with extra maple syrup. Garnish with a sprinkle of thyme or rosemary for a hint of freshness.
