Ingredients for Your Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Burrata

Alright, let’s gather our goodies! Here’s what you’ll need to make these amazing stuffed sweet potatoes. Don’t worry if you’re missing something, you can always tweak it! But trust me, this combo is *chef’s kiss*.

Sweet Potatoes

You’ll want 2 medium sweet potatoes. Look for ones that are firm and don’t have any soft spots. The smaller, the faster they cook – just sayin’!

Olive Oil

Grab about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. I usually just eyeball it, but that’s roughly what you’ll need. This is for rubbing on the sweet potatoes to help them get nice and tender.

Seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste! Don’t be shy, season those potatoes well. I like a little extra pepper, but you do you!

Black Beans

You’ll need 1/2 cup of cooked black beans. Canned are totally fine (just rinse ’em!), or you can cook your own if you’re feeling ambitious.

Corn

Get ready for 1/2 cup of corn kernels. Fresh, frozen, canned… whatever you’ve got! Just make sure it’s thawed if it’s frozen.

Red Onion

Dice up 1/4 cup of red onion. This adds a nice little bite! If you don’t like red onion, yellow or white will work too, but red is my fave.

Cilantro

Chop 1/4 cup of cilantro. If you’re one of those people who think cilantro tastes like soap (I’m so sorry!), just skip it or use parsley.

Burrata Cheese

Now for the star of the show: 4 ounces of burrata cheese. Oh. My. Goodness. If you’ve never had it, burrata is basically mozzarella’s cooler, creamier cousin. You can usually find it at most grocery stores these days, but if you can’t, fresh mozzarella will also work.

Optional Topping

Hot sauce for serving! I’m a hot sauce fiend, so I always drizzle a little on top. But if you’re not into spice, no worries, it’s totally optional.

How to Make Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Burrata: Step-by-Step Instructions

Okay, here’s where the magic happens! Don’t be intimidated, these stuffed sweet potatoes are super easy to make. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be enjoying a delicious meal in no time. Promise!

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While that’s heating up, give those sweet potatoes a good wash and dry. Then, grab a fork and pierce ’em a few times. This lets the steam escape so they don’t explode in the oven (trust me, you don’t want that!). Now, drizzle with that olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and rub it all in. Get ’em nice and coated!

Bake the Sweet Potatoes

Pop those sweet potatoes in the oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they’re nice and soft. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork. If they’re still firm, give ’em a few more minutes. Every oven’s different, ya know?

Prepare the Filling

While the sweet potatoes are baking, let’s get the filling ready. In a bowl, just toss together the cooked black beans, corn, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Easy peasy! You can even add a pinch of salt and pepper here too, if you like.

Stuff and Serve the Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Burrata

Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, carefully slice them open lengthwise. Be careful, they’ll be hot! Now, grab that black bean mixture and stuff each potato with it. Don’t be shy, load ’em up! Finally, tear that burrata into pieces and top each potato. The warmth from the potato will make the burrata all melty and delicious. Serve immediately and drizzle with hot sauce, if desired. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Burrata

Want to take these stuffed sweet potatoes to the *next* level? Here are a few of my go-to tips for getting them perfect every time. Trust me, these little tweaks make a big difference!

Microwaving for Faster Cooking

Okay, so you’re *really* short on time? You can totally microwave those sweet potatoes! Just poke ’em with a fork like before, then microwave on high for about 5-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. They won’t get that same roasted flavor, but it’s a great shortcut when you’re in a rush! For more quick cooking tips, check out how to cook a sweet potato in the microwave.

Adding Other Toppings

Don’t be afraid to get creative with your toppings! Avocado slices add extra creaminess, sour cream or Greek yogurt give it a tangy twist, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions adds a little zing. The possibilities are endless, so go wild!

Seasoning to Taste

Remember, this recipe is just a guide. Don’t be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your liking. If you like things spicy, add a pinch of chili powder to the black bean mixture. If you prefer a milder flavor, skip the hot sauce. It’s all about making it *your* perfect stuffed sweet potato!

Okay, so you’ve made the basic stuffed sweet potato, and you’re loving it… but you’re also feeling a little adventurous? I got you! Here are a few fun twists you can try to mix things up. Don’t be afraid to experiment!

Spicy Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Burrata

Want to kick things up a notch? Add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to that black bean mixture! Start with a small amount, taste, and then add more if you want more heat. Ooh la la!

Cheesy Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Burrata

Because cheese makes everything better, right? Throw some shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese on top of the black bean mixture before you add the burrata. Let it melt a little in the oven… mmm, cheesy goodness!

Mediterranean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Burrata

Craving something a little fresher? Add some chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta cheese to the black bean mixture. It’s like a Mediterranean salad stuffed inside a sweet potato! So good!

Serving Suggestions for Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Burrata

These stuffed sweet potatoes are pretty darn filling on their own, but if you wanna make it a *real* meal, here are a couple of my favorite things to serve alongside ’em!

Side Salad

A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette is always a good idea. Something fresh and crisp to balance out the richness of the sweet potato and burrata. You can’t go wrong! For inspiration, check out this Thanksgiving Salad.

Roasted Vegetables

Roasted broccoli or Brussels sprouts are also amazing! Roasting brings out their natural sweetness, and they pair perfectly with the flavors in the stuffed sweet potato. Plus, extra veggies are always a good thing, right? Try these Smashed Brussels Sprouts.

Reheating Instructions

When you’re ready to dig in again, you can reheat them in the oven or microwave. For the oven, bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. For the microwave, just zap ’em for a minute or two. Watch out, they can get a little steamy!
