Roasted Grape, Goat Cheese + Honey Stuffed Sweet Potatoes.
Hello you luscious grapes you.
You know, luscious is sort of one of those words that makes my skin crawl. It’s just so… blahhh. Like one of those words that makes you cringe to the point where you could punch a puppy in the face. So yucky.
Too much?
I just had no other words to describe these grapes. I wish I could hug them.
From the moment I saw Maria’s roasted grape crostini, I was intrigued. What are these roasted grapes that people speak of? I figured I’d be a fan since I generally adore grapes in all of their bouncy, juicy glory… but I had no idea I’d be THIS MUCH of a fan.
Oh my stars.
Add roasted grapes to the list of my most recent obsessions (oh hi Rob Lowe). I can’t get enough. And that is how this weirdo combo was born. I also really like to watch things burst in the oven. Easily amused much?
So what do we classify this as? A snack? A side dish?
Lunch? Breakfast?
I just know that I want to eat it every day for the rest of my life. And then again. Twice.
Can we make that happen? I’d like an afterlife full of roasted grapes please.
Plus, this whole mess is stuffed with goat cheese, which is like… a law of life. Cheese belongs everywhere people. Everywhere I tell you!
Roasted Grape + Goat Cheese + Honey Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 2 cups red, seedless grapes
- 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil, or another high heat oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey + additional for drizzling
- pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Poke holes in sweet potato with a fork, then wrap each tightly in aluminum foil. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until potatoes and tender to the touch. Unwrap foil and cut a slit down the middle of each sweet potato. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Lay grapes on a nonstick baking sheet and drizzle with grapeseed oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until grapes begin to burst. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Once sweet potatoes are somewhat cool, gently remove the flesh with a spoon, trying to keep the potato intact. Add the sweet potato to a large bowl, then mash with 3 ounces of goat cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper and honey. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired, then scoop flash back into the potato skins. At this point you can re-warm the potatoes (if you let them cool completely) in the oven, then top with remaining goat cheese. Add grapes on top and serve with additional drizzled honey.

Oh my, that looks strangely delicious.
you’re honestly the death of me.

I LOVE roasted grapes. I will be trying this one! Glad you liked my crostini:)
Huh. I must say that I am curious!
Wow! These sound so amazing! I would have never thought to combine these things, but they would be so delicious together, like a savory dessert! I am so trying this one :)!
these sound amazing! i love the flavor combinations. i LOVE grapes but have never roasted them…I’ll have to give it a try!
This is a main meal for me! I’ll take seven please.
I can honestly say I’ve never had a roasted grape before. You have me wanting to try it out!
You must must must try them!!
I’ve never had a roasted grape before either and would never have thought to put them on top of sweet potatoes. I LOVE my sweet pots though so this looks intriguing!
I think drool might be oozing from my chin the way the honey is oozing from the sweet potatoes…
I WANT THIS! Yes, I just screamed that and my kids think I am crazier than they suspected. Well, thank you for the this Saturday’s side dish, doll!!!
you have to try grapes on focaccia. I made one one time that had garlic shallot and rosemary and halved grapes
I sort of want to do a face plant right into that. I imagine the sweet roasted grapes have the most amazing flavor that completely compliments the warm fluffy sweet potato and is then made even better by the smooth cream goat cheese. Then you add honey…yeah, this may be my new favorite combination. Now I have to come up with something for the cheese. You are the only person that makes me sad I can’t have cheese…
Ahhh, I wish you could!
Definitely a new thing to try – roasted grapes. My newest thing is warmed fruit so this is definitely right on point for me:-)…I think when you top sweet potatoes with goat cheese and roasted grapes and honey it becomes a dessert…or afternoon snack.
Wow what a creative dish! I would never of thought of grapes and sweet potatoes, it looks really good and I am betting the flavors go well together. I need to make this, perfect for lunch!!
ohmigosh i want to take a bath in that sweet potato.
i don’t even know how that would work. but i want it.
If that potato is a mess, it sure is a beautiful mess! I love the goat cheese and roasted grapes…
I have been meaning to try roasted grapes… combine them with sweet potatoes & goat cheese (a.k.a. two of my very favorite foods) and you don’t have to ask me twice to make this amazing creation!
What a unique recipe! Love sweet potatoes and grapes! Im in
How interesting! Can’t wait to give roasted grapes a try!
Now THAT is really creative, different, and interesting. I’ve never had roasted grapes but they look gorgeous!
I love the roasted grape/goat cheese crostini idea, but would never have thought to try it on a sweet potato!
Hold on…roasted grapes? That’s life changing. I need roasted grapes and goat cheese on a salad stat.
Thank you!
YUM! I made a pork tenderloin with roasted grapes and I was hooked immediately too. They are so delicious! Love your combination here.
That is the most unbelievable thing I’ve ever peeped. Like, EVAR. To the max. And then back again. And then back out there with the max. And then back. And then it sucker punched me.
Roasted grapes are a pretty foreign concept to me too, but I’m intrigued by this! When I was little, for dessert my sister and I would sit at the table with bowls of grapes and try to crunch them in just the right way to squirt the other person in the face. Yep… I had a pretty exciting childhood. I know this would likely never happen in your house, because fruit on it’s own is never worthy of being called dessert! ;)
This totally belongs in a gourmet restaurant! WOWZA!
this recipe is literally all of my favorite things on one plate. i eat red grapes by the bushel-full, but roasted?! that is new to me. cannot WAIT to try this!
Obsessed. Need.grapes.immediately!
holy crap. I want this NOW.
I want to try this just to watch things burst in the oven too!
This is genius. I’ve never roasted grapes but I can just imagine the flavor! The goat cheese is like the icing on the cake because who doesn’t love goat cheese?!
I’m seriously obsessed with goat cheese and roasted grapes sound amazing.
Ok, now I seriously have to try roasted grapes. I am definitely going to make this, maybe with a little sprinkle of crispy panchetta on top? Oh yes.
OMG that would be even better!!
I could not be in more agreeance about the cheese.
This looks like a wonderful dinner!
Holy crap. I am droooooling.
Roasted grapes?!?! I never knew you could do such a thing. NEVER.
You certainly have me curious if nothing else!
This sounds and looks amazing!! I love roasted grapes. I usually roast them with chopped up butternut squash, vidalia onion, and sage leaves… it is divine.
Wow, what an interesting but wonderful combination.
YUM! I have been on a goat cheese kick lately!
How unique!? I can’t wait to try!
wow girl, i dont even like goat cheese (yea yea yea, i know) but these look sooooooooo tasty! i wonder if blue cheese or brie could be a substitute? love the idea of the sweet honey and grapes!
I wish my food brain worked like yours. How do you EVER come up with such amazing ideas!?
I’ve put these ingredients on a pizza, but never imagined a sweet potato! nicely done :)
These sweet potatoes reminded me! I had the most amazing sweet potato waffle fries drizzle w/ honey, brown sugar & chopped pecans. They had a sweet & sour chili sauce for dipping. It was the most fantastic thing I’ve eaten in so long! Like dessert & dinner rolled into one. I think you’d love that combo!
I loooove roasted grapes! I usually throw them on a salad but this is a much better idea.
Roasted grapes?!? I have never heard of such a thing but I am so intrigued! Must. Try. Asap. And goat cheese too? Stuffed in a sweet potato? It’s like you have discovered my comfort food heaven! Also I am right there with you about the word luscious. It sounds lewd. As does the word moist. Eww right?
I want to put that in my face.
Love me some roasted grapes–I recently put them on polenta with roasted chicken Italian sausage and it was pretty fab.
I am in love with all of these ingredients – so perfect! I have a weird obsession with grapes :)
