Baked Sweet Potatoes

I’m loving the autumn and I’ve been enjoying doing loads of cooking, welded flapjacks, coleslaw, spicy carrot soup, homemade ketchup and these baked sweet potatoes.

The idea came from a mexican restaurant dish, it makes a lovely light autumn supper.

Ingredients

Sweet Potato
Coriander
Hot Salsa
Mozzarella
Sour Cream

1. Bake the sweet potato in foil as you would a potato. The sweet potato will cook quicker than a potato, and will take 40 mins – 1 hour, give it a squeeze, if it’s soft remove the foil and crisp up for a further 20 mins.

2. Remove from oven and cut in half lengthways. Sprinkle with coriander, add a generous spoonful of salsa and topp with mozzarella.

3. Grill until mozzarella is bubbling. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.

When I first tried it, it was a bit of a taste sensation so I hope you enjoy :)

    Yummy! Do you think this will be ok if I microwave the potatoes first instead of cooking them in the oven?

  • Little Mummy said:

    I’d have thought so Antonella, although they didn’t take that long in the oven, less than potatoes.
