Cheesy Jerk Sweet Potato Bake

Recipe by Alex Hall on InstagramAdded 8 November 2026.
  • 1 hr 5 min
  • Serves 4
  • 21 ingredients

20 minutes to prep, 45 to cook. A vibrant Caribbean-inspired bake that layers roasted sweet potato, peppers, and red onion with a spicy homemade jerk paste, then finishes with melty cheddar and cool Greek yoghurt. The combination of sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors makes for a protein‑rich, fiber‑filled dinner that's easy to assemble.

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F fan (convection).

  2. 2

    On a large baking tray, toss the diced sweet potato, sliced red peppers, and sliced red onion with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper; roast for 25 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the vegetables roast, prepare the jerk paste: dissolve the dark brown sugar in soy sauce and lime juice, then combine with ground allspice, dried thyme, garlic paste, ginger paste, finely diced spring onions, chilli flakes, cinnamon, and nutmeg; mix until a smooth paste forms.

  4. 4

    Remove the tray, stir the jerk paste into the roasted vegetables, add the chopped tomatoes and drained black beans, and return the tray to the oven uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Squeeze the juice of the second lime over the mixture, scatter the grated cheddar on top, and place under a hot grill (broiler) for 4–5 minutes until the cheese is blistered and golden.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the Greek yoghurt over the baked dish and scatter the remaining spring onions before serving.

Tips while you cook

Prepare jerk paste while vegetables roast
Mix the jerk paste ingredients while the sweet potatoes and peppers are roasting.
Stir paste into vegetables before final bake
After the initial 25‑minute roast, combine the jerk paste with the vegetables before returning to the oven.
Grill cheese briefly for blistered topping
Place the dish under the hot grill for 4–5 minutes until the cheddar is golden and blistered.
Add yoghurt after baking, not before
Drizzle the Greek yoghurt over the baked dish just before serving.
