Why You’ll Love These Healthy Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

These stuffed sweet potatoes are a meal in themselves. And the “stuffing” options are endless! You could add black beans + salsa, ground beef + marinara sauce, or my personal favorite, sautéed veggies with mozzarella cheese. The colors and flavors compliment each other so nicely.

And while my family might not have the same sentiment for color and nutrition as I do, the boys will at least eat some of the sweet potatoes! Oh, and the cheese… they’ll definitely pick and eat the melted cheese!

How to Make Healthy Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  2. Cut sweet potatoes in half and let cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, sauté butter, onion, garlic, and broccoli over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until broccoli becomes tender. Set aside.
  3. Scrape the sweet out of the peel, leaving a thin layer inside the skin. Stir the sweet potato, milk, sour cream, and broccoli mixture until combined.
  4. Fill each sweet potato skin with the sweet potato mixture and top with shredded cheese.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes, until cheese, is melted, and filling is heated through. Serve immediately.

Tips for Making the Best Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

  • Top with your favorite green veggie- mine was broccoli at the moment. but you could sauté spinach or add roasted peppers!
  • Microwave the sweet potatoes ahead of time to cut down on cooking time
  • Mix and match the cheese with your favorite veggie topping!
