A cozy and colorful dish featuring sweet potatoes filled with caramelized brussels sprouts, roasted beets, and topped with whipped cottage cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 1 cup brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 cup small beets, peeled and quartered
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped toasted walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, chives) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
  2. Toss sweet potato halves with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  3. On a second sheet, toss brussels sprouts and beets with remaining oil, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
  4. Roast sweet potatoes for 35–45 minutes until tender when pierced. Roast the brussels sprouts and beets for 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway, until caramelized and tender.
  5. While the vegetables roast, whip the cottage cheese: in a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, lemon juice, garlic (if using), and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and airy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  6. When everything is done, brush the cut side of each sweet potato with remaining maple syrup and flip them cut-side up. Fill each potato with roasted brussels sprouts and beets. Dollop or pipe whipped cottage cheese on top. Sprinkle with toasted nuts and herbs.

Notes

For a brighter finish, top each sweet potato boat with a drizzle of balsamic glaze instead of extra maple. This dish can be made ahead of time by roasting the components separately and assembling them before serving.
