Instructions

Roast the sweet potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub sweet potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast on a baking sheet for 40–50 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Make the filling:
While the potatoes bake, mix ricotta, chopped spinach, garlic, Parmesan (if using), salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
Prepare the glaze:
In a small saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar, and honey over low heat. Stir until warm and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Stuff the potatoes:
Once baked, slice sweet potatoes open lengthwise. Gently fluff the insides with a fork, then spoon in the creamy ricotta-spinach filling.
Drizzle & garnish:
Spoon the cranberry balsamic glaze over each potato. Top with toasted walnuts and fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
