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.

Yummy! Will try this!
Would these roasted grapes be good in a salad, with goat cheese, lettuce, and walnuts?!
I definitely think so!
Holy smokes, you’re genius! I would have never thought about this combination.
Oh my. I’m at a loss for words. Roasted grapes… sweet potato… goat cheese… honey. Brilliant.
I’m going to be honest, I am SO intimidated by these roasted grapes. I’m kinda obsessed with grapes when they’re cold – I’ve been eating frozen grapes by the cup since I was about 2 years old. . . Do you PROMISE the roasted ones are just as wonderful!?
xoxo,
Scared grape lover.
I think they are!
Thank you for turning me on to roasted grapes! LOVE Them!

Love these! And I’ve been inspired to feature your sweet potatoes in my Friday Food Fetish roundup and on Pinterest. I can’t wait to see what you come up with next and please let me know if you have any objections…
Can you use olive oil instead of grapeseed oil..?
I wouldn’t use olive oil because it doesn’t have a very high smoke point and the oven will be really hot… try canola or safflower or another high heat oil first, and if you must then try olive oil – but it will probably smoke.
Wow, that looks so divine. I wish I could eat this right now! Too bad a snow storm is rolling through so I cannot get the grapes!!!!! I am so making this tomorrow though.
I am making these ASAP! I love goat cheese and this combination sounds so delicious!

We are having this as a side tonight!!! Can’t wait!
Just made this for my dinner, and OMG it was fab! Definitely to be repeated!
Yes I will try this! It does look luscious;) But can you substitute the goat cheese?
OMG – That IS luscious! What a GREAT combination! I think the goat cheese is my absolute favorite part – and it keeps it from being over-the-top sweet! Fabulous photos – as always!
…what is the word I’m looking for??? Oh yeah – BACON!!!
I just made this and added candied pecans to top…So GOOD!!!!!

I tried this out tonight and it WAS AWESOME. Thanks for this.
Hmm…Definitely intrigued. I am a big fan of roasting things and love goat cheese. Just might have to give this a try

I am officially drooling…
This was fantastic, but really rich and a little too sweet. I changed it up on the second batch and added a teaspoon of cayenne and a little more salt and it turned out fantastic.. still sweet, savory, spicy.. yum!
I made this into a casserole last night. It was fantastic! =) Thanks for the suggestion!
Had this dish bookmarked and finally made it. Holy hell. So freaking tasty.

This combo sounds so goid, but I am not a big fan of sweet potatoes, do you think you could mix this with jasmine rice? Thanks for the great idea
I’ve been meaning to roast up some grapes ever since I saw it done on the Cooking Channel. This looks like an interesting flavor combo.
I pretty much think roasted grapes and goat cheese sounds like the best thing ever. Sweet and savoury, mmmm.
I am actually considering adding these to pretty much everything now. I think baked goat cheese topped with roasted grapes would be delicious. Or how about roasted grapes on top of a salad with toasted spicy pecans? Or roasted grapes (without the salt and pepper) on top of greek yogurt? Or roasted grapes on top of ICE CREAM…
OMG, dying.
I just made this for some friends and my husband for dinner. Holy cow! It is so delicious! I can’t wait to make it again… for Thanksgiving! Thank you for posting this flavorfully amazing recipe!

Hi Jessica,
since I first saw a picture of this meal, I was sure it must be delicious. And I had to try it. Bought a sweet potatos (they are not too common in our country) and yesterday I made it. And it was delicious! Both, my husband and I, really enjoyed it and I know I will make it more often :)
So thanks.
Greetings from a Czech Rep., Europe
I made these this weekend for dinner and there were honestly the best stuffed potatoes I have had in a very long time. Everyone loved them and I will be making again no doubt!

Can I use feta or is it too dry?
I can only get yellow sweet potatoes. Will they work? They look longer and I don’t know if their skin is as thick… so I’m not sure how the baking and the cup-like effect will go. Any idea??
I believe these are yams! At least that’s what I cooked with and they came out great :)
