Baked Sweet Potato with Roasted Grapes & Honey Ricotta
Baked Sweet Potato with Roasted Grapes & Ricotta Honey all begins with a Perfectly Baked Potato. From there prepare for a flavor bonanza.
On their own, tender baked sweet potatoes take on a lovely caramelized flavor. Mash them with a little butter seasoned with nutmeg and cinnamon and they become very, very comfortable.
Roasted grapes. Holy WOW! From the moment I first saw this recipe I couldn’t wait to try my hand at roasting grapes. I had no idea that what had intrigued me would so captivate my taste buds. When roasted, the sweet flavor of the grapes becomes nicely concentrated. Like little bites of the most delicious jam.
I’m already thinking about the next thing I want to top with these sweet gems.
