This is another one of those recipes that you could pretty much make any which way you would like. Simply stuff, bake, and then stuff your face (as elegantly or not as you please).
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
1. Wrap sweet potatoes in tin foil (shiny side in) and bake at 350 degrees F. for 60 minutes, or until tender.
2. Chop up your favourite veggies, and marinade (marinade recipe below). I used whatever veggies I had on hand: Green pepper, onion, celery, cucumber, & garlic. I also washed up a can of mixed beans to add to the stuffing.
3. About 10 minutes before potatoes are ready, remove your vegetables from the marinade and grill them (I used a George Forman and this works wonderfully!).
4. When potatoes are tender, scoop the sweet potato out of the peel, leaving a thin layer inside the peel so that it can stand up on it’s own. Mash the sweet potato and add some butter and orange juice to taste. Then combine the sweet potato with the grilled veggies and mixed beans.
5. Fill each skin with the sweet potato mixture and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake again for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and filling is heated through. Enjoy!
