Ingredient Notes

• Sweet Potatoes: Use one large sweet potato (about 1 cup when sliced). You can substitute with butternut squash for a different flavor.
• Peaches: Ideally use fresh, ripe peaches for maximum sweetness. Canned peaches in juice can work in a pinch.
• Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor, but agave can be a good alternative.
• Goat Cheese: Choose a creamy goat cheese for melting; feta works too, but the taste will be sharper.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. While the sweet potatoes are grilling, cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Grill the peach halves, cut side down, for about 4-5 minutes until charred and soft.
  2. Once everything is grilled, stack a slice of sweet potato, a drizzle of maple syrup, a piece of grilled peach, and top with crumbled goat cheese.
  3. Repeat the layering until all ingredients are used. Serve warm and enjoy the layers of flavor!.

Things I’ve Learned

Be cautious not to overcook the sweet potatoes—aim for a fork-tender texture. If you have leftovers, store the stacks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for about 30 seconds. You can also prepare the sweet potatoes in advance and grill the peaches fresh for a quick assembly in the morning.
