The stuffed sweet potatoes were a bit bland. I think I would have preferred a more flavorful filling.

I found that the recipe was a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. I would recommend making this recipe on a weekend or holiday when you have more time.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the results were not as good as I had hoped. The filling was a bit dry and the sweet potatoes were not as tender as I would have liked.
