Preparing Cranberry Brie & Pecan Stuffed Sweet Potato Bombs with Maple Glaze
This recipe is straightforward and fun to make. You’ll start by roasting the sweet potatoes to create a soft, flavorful base. Once cooled, you’ll form balls that are filled with a cheesy and nutty mixture, then bake them until golden. Finally, a drizzle of maple syrup enhances the sweetness, tying everything together beautifully. It’s like making little edible presents that are sure to delight anyone who takes a bite!
What you’ll need
To make your delectable stuffed sweet potato bombs, gather these ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 oz Brie cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)

Consider using goats’ cheese instead of Brie for a tangy twist, or substitute walnuts for pecans if you prefer a different nut flavor.
