Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp. avocado oil, divided use
  • To taste sea salt
  • 3/4 cup broccoli florets, finely chopped
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Avocado cream, for serving (see recipe)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400. Arrange the potatoes in a large baking dish. Pierce each potato a few times with the tip of a knife. Rub with 1 tbsp. of avocado oil and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  2. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, carefully cut off a slice from across the top of each to expose the flesh of the potato. With a small spoon, carefully scoop the potato flesh into a mixing bowl, taking care to leave behind a 1/2-inch thick potato “shell.”

  3. Mash the remaining tbsp. of avocado oil into the potato flesh. Stir in the broccoli, bacon, walnuts, dried cranberries, garlic powder, onion powder and a pinch of salt. Spoon the filling back into each potato shell, mounding it up as needed.

  4. Cover the stuffed potatoes loosely in the dish with a piece of parchment paper or foil. Return to the oven for 10-15 minutes to heat throughout. Serve topped with avocado cream.
