TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES



Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes image

Sweet potatoes are oh so healthy. The drawback is when people add all the junk. So how could I make something a little more dressed up that plain old baked sweet potatoes, but healthier than a sweet potato pie. This is what will grace our Thanksgiving Table this year.

Time 2h

Yield 6 potatoes, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 small sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup maple syrup, the REAL stuff
2/3 cup craisins
12 -18 pecans, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450F.
  • Wash each sweet potato well. Pierce each potato with a knife a couple of times on the top. Double-wrap each potato individually in foil.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes. The potatoes should be completely cooked, but not mushy.
  • Carefully unwrap the potatoes and let them cool until you can handle them without gloves.
  • Slice the top 1/2" off of each potato. Place the potato flesh in a mixing bowl. Scoop out the "guts" of the potato and add that to the bowl. Make sure to leave enough of the potato behind so that your potato retains its shape.

  • Stuff the stuffing back into the 'taters.
  • Top off with Craisins and 2-3 pecans.
  • Toast in a 350F oven for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or debris from the skin.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a knife into the center of the sweet potato. If it goes in easily, the sweet potato is done.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly: This will make them easier to handle.
  • Scoop out the flesh of the sweet potatoes: Be careful not to scoop out too much flesh, as you will need some to put back in the skins.
  • Mash the sweet potato flesh: You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or a fork to do this.
  • Add your desired fillings and seasonings: This is where you can get creative! Some popular fillings include butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and marshmallows.
  • Re-stuff the sweet potato skins: Be sure to pack the filling in tightly.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes again: This will help to melt the fillings and brown the tops of the sweet potatoes.

Conclusion:

Twice-baked sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. They are also a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a twice-baked sweet potato recipe that everyone will love.
