Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Prick the sweet potatoes several times with a fork, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are baking, combine fresh sage, garlic, toasted walnuts, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice in a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, add walnuts and toast for 3-4 minutes until golden-brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. After roasting, slice the sweet potatoes open and fluff insides with a fork. Spoon the sage pesto into each potato, topping with burrata and toasted walnuts.
  5. Serve warm on a plate garnished with fresh sage leaves.
