Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato

  • 1 baked sweet potato

Toppings

  • 1–2 tbsp peanut butter (or any nut butter)
  • 1 tbsp dried cranberries
  • 2 tbsp toasted nuts (almonds, walnuts, peanuts, cashews)
  • A pinch of pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Bake the Sweet Potato: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the whole sweet potato for about 45-60 minutes, or until it is fork-tender and soft inside. Let it cool slightly before handling.
  2. Slice the Potato: Carefully slice the baked sweet potato in half lengthwise to create two halves ready for stuffing.
  3. Add Nut Butter: Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of your chosen nut butter evenly over the cut sides of the sweet potato halves, allowing it to melt slightly from the warmth of the potato.
  4. Top with Cranberries and Nuts: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of dried cranberries and 2 tablespoons of toasted nuts over the nut butter-covered sweet potatoes to add tartness and crunch.
  5. Season with Spice: Lightly dust each half with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice to infuse the dish with classic fall flavors.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately while warm as a satisfying snack or side dish highlighting comforting seasonal ingredients.

Notes

  • You can substitute any nut butter such as almond or cashew butter according to your preference or dietary needs.
  • To toast nuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until golden and fragrant, then cool before using.
  • If fresh cranberries are available, you can lightly cook them with a bit of honey for a sweeter topping option.
  • This recipe can be made vegan and gluten-free depending on the nut butter and nuts you choose.
  • For a savory twist, omit the cranberries and pumpkin pie spice and add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
