Yield: 12 servings

Course: Dip

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 sprigs rosemary
1½ cups sweet potato (chopped 1/4 inch dice)
¾ teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
Fresh black pepper
½ cup shallot (chopped small)
1/3 cup dried cranberries
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup 2% cottage cheese
1 clove garlic
¼ cup pumpkin seeds (toasted)
Endive (thinly sliced raw golden beets using a mandolin, orange cauliflower and carrots make for the perfect crudites here)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and add rosemary once hot. Rosemary will sizzle until it is finished cooking, about 2-3 minutes. Remove rosemary from oil & reserve on a paper towel lined dish. Save the pan with rosemary oil inside.
Toss sweet potato in 1 tablespoon of the rosemary oil, ¼ teaspoon salt & fresh cracked black pepper. Roast until caramelized and tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
In the same reserved saucepan with remaining rosemary oil, saute shallot on medium-low until aromatic; 3-4 minutes. Add cranberries & balsamic; lower heat & simmer until balsamic reduces to a syrupy consistency, 7-10 minutes.
Make whipped ricotta: Add ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, garlic, 1 tablespoon water, ½ teaspoon salt & fresh cracked black pepper to a food processor. Blend until airy & smooth.
Transfer whipped ricotta to a shallow dish & top with roasted sweet potatoes, cranberries, pumpkin seeds & fried rosemary leaves. Serve with crudites and baguette.
