Stuffed Sweet Potatoes In A Bowl

Believe it or not, but I do enjoy squeezing in a ‘healthy’ dish or two in between all of the cookie trays and Super Bowl parties.  I especially enjoy this dish during the cold winter months when my favorite veggies such as asparagus and bell peppers aren’t in season.

4 FAQs about Stuffed Sweet Potatos

1. How should I cook the sweet potatoes?

The sweet potatoes should be cooked in the oven for this recipe so that the skin can carmelize. Cooking the sweet potatoes in the microwave or stovetop will cause the skins to become soft and potentially fall off.

2. Can this recipe be made in advance?

The sweet potatoes and veggies can definitely be prepared in advance. If you can, prepare the guacamole right before serving, to prevent the avocados from browning. However, if you do need to make the guacamole in advance, check out the next FAQ.

3. How to prevent avocados from browning?

This is my favorite new hack: store the guacamole in the refrigerator in a ziplock bag with as much as removed as possible (see picture below).

4. What are other occasions to enjoy stuffed sweet potatoes?

Aside from meal prep and a quick weeknight meal, I love to serve this recipe on game day or for Cinco de Mayo.
