Preparation

Preparation5 min

Cook time35 min

Preheat the oven to 350 °F/180 °C. Wash and dry the sweet potato, then cut it lengthwise. Place the halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut side down. Brush them with olive oil. Bake for about 25 to 40 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the sweet potatoes.
Remove the sweet potato from the oven and turn it over. Using a fork, gently mash the flesh, being careful not to damage the skin. Make a small indentation in the center of each half to hold the egg.
Gently crack an egg into each well and return to the oven at 350-390 °F/180–200 °C for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the whites and yolks are set.
Once it comes out of the oven, season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the halves on serving plates. Then sprinkle the crumbled feta over them. Drizzle with a little honey, add the coarsely chopped walnuts, and top with parsley.
Serve while still warm. Enjoy your meal!

FAQ ❓

How do you keep the egg from running off a baked sweet potato?

Mash a little of the cooked flesh and make a shallow indentation in the center of each half. Crack an egg into each well and return the potatoes to the oven carefully.

Can I make roasted sweet potato with egg, feta, honey, and walnuts ahead of time?

You can roast the sweet potatoes ahead and refrigerate them. For the best texture, add the eggs and bake until set just before serving, then top with feta, honey, walnuts, and parsley.

What can I use instead of walnuts in this recipe?

Try chopped pecans, almonds, or pumpkin seeds for a similar crunch. Toast them briefly for a deeper, nuttier flavor.
