RECIPE ALERT - Stuffed Baked Sweet Potato

Baked Sweet Potatoes with a Feta Salad

 

I don't know about you, but I LOVE sweet potatoes. I seriously could eat one a day with just cinnamon on it! However, the Hubby likes things changed up. So I made this sweet potato recipe that is just to DIE for!! It tastes so good and is a great way to get a yellow if you are doing the fix and don't like many of them or even sweet potatoes. You honestly can't taste the potato because of all the toppings!!!

 

This is a must try RECIPE!!! Oh and its a very SIMPLE recipe! Doesn't take long to prep!

 Serves: 2

INGREDIENTS

2 mid sized sweet potatoes (I used small ones because of doing the 21 Day Fix)
 1/4 cup of feta or similar cheese
1 small red onion/ 3 spring onions
10-12 cherry tomatoes
1 clove of garlic (peeled and diced)
Handful fresh (chopped) or 1 tbsp dried basil
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp fresh ground pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
juice of ½ lemon

Optional:
A third of a cucumber for extra crunch

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash the potatoes and rub a coat of olive oil and salt on the skin.

Next, put them on a baking tray and layer of foil. Off they go in the oven. Depending on the size of the potato they’ll be ready somewhere between 45 and 60 mins. You can tell when the skin becomes loose (just prod them). If the potatoes are massive then slice them length-ways before cooking to save time.

While they’re cooking, cut or crumble the feta/cheese, cut cherry tomatoes, basil, peel and dice the onion and the garlic and mix it all up in a salad bowl.

Put the basil, cumin, cayenne pepper, fresh ground pepper, olive oil and lemon in a cup and stir well.

Add the contents of the cup to the salad bowl and stir well.

When the potatoes are ready (cut them open if they’re not already) pop them on a plate and layer the salad mix on top.

Enjoy!
