It’s cold December day here upstate New York. We totally wanted a baked sweet potato today, but with some extra ingredients on it. We went for pineapple, walnut baked sweet potato with golden raisins and parsley dressing.

I wasn’t sure at first how I wanted to approach this recipe. I did see a bunch of baked sweet potato recipes online but nothing like this.

To make this mouthwatering pineapple walnut baked sweet potato recipe I use three simple core ingredients:

  • Pineapple
  • Walnuts
  • Golden raisins

How to cook sweet potato?

Cooking sweet potatoes is very easy. One important thing to remember about is to pierce the potato with a fork at least a few times for faster cooking.

**Notice down below in the picture the potato has small fork marks.

Scooping out the baked sweet potato is relatively easy, but you have to do it in a gentle way otherwise, you might break the potato skin.

Sauce – I wanted to add an extra pineapple flavor to the recipe. I decided to make the sauce. I took a cup of pineapple, pinch of golden raisins, one tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of milk. Transfer everything to the blender and pulse it for 5 seconds. When potato is ready, bring the sauce to boil and pour a tablespoon on each potato.
