Healthy Loaded Sweet Potatoes recipe
Craving a comfort food fix? Here’s how to make it healthier: This simple recipe for Healthy Loaded Sweet Potatoes combines hearty sweet potatoes with crispy tofu, garlicky spinach and a zesty tahini dressing for a dish that is both satisfying and full of flavor. And it’s so easy to make. While baking sweet potatoes does require some patience, the total prep and hands-on time is under 20 minutes. Serve as a main with a salad for an easy and healthy dinner.
The cooking time for sweet potatoes depends on their size. For best results, I recommend poking holes all over the sweet potato with a fork or small paring knife to prevent it from exploding as it bakes. A quick brush of olive oil on the skins makes them crispy and brings out their natural sweetness, creating a wonderful caramelized flavor. When picking sweet potatoes, opt for those that are thin and long. They cook more quickly and evenly, delivering perfectly tender results every time.
