Raclette Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 7-8 ounces Emmi Raclette cheese, sliced
- Fresh thyme or parsley (optional)
Method
- Heat oven to 400F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Slice sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Drizzle with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake 35-45 minutes, or until sweet potatoes can be easily pieced with a fork. Remove from oven.* Using tongs, turn sweet potato halves so the cut side is facing up. Cover each with a slice of Raclette. Return to oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted. Finish with a sprinkle of salt and fresh herbs, if desired. Serve immediately.
- *Note: Sweet potatoes can be roasted ahead of time. Heat in 400F oven cut side up for 10 minutes before adding cheese and returning to oven to melt.
