Baked Sweet Potato Slices

By 

I love me some sweet potatoes. So when I saw this yummy-looking sweet potato skins recipe on my new favorite blog, Girl Makes Food, I had to try it. One word: Amazing. And easy, too.

What you need:

  • 3 small sweet potatoes

  • Your favorite cheese (I used low fat cheddar)

  • Guacamole

What you do:

  • The recipe calls for baking the whole sweet potatoes, but I boiled them for 5 minutes instead

  • Cut off the edges of the sweet potatoes

  • Add a slice of cheese to each piece

  • Bake at 400 for 10 minutes, or until skins are crispy

  • The recipe also says to scoop out the middle of each potato, I didn’t because I wanted to preserve more of the potato and make it a heartier dish

  • Remove from oven and add a dallop of guacamole to each slice
