Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Twice baked sweet potatoes...really, do I need to say more?  Tasty and healthy...comfort food that's not going to make you reach for your stretchy pants!!  Oh...and did I mention...easy?  My favorite word!

Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

1 large sweet potato, halved lengthwise
1 tbsp butter/margarine
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp cinnamon sugar
2 tbsp chopped nuts (optional)

1.  Preheat oven to 400.  Place potato halves cut side down on a foil lined baking sheet.  Bake for 35 minutes or until tender.

2.  In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients and mix well.

3.  Once cooked, carefully spoon out the center of the potato halves, leaving a shell.

4.  Add the scooped potato to the mixture.  Mash and combine well.  Spoon back into the shells.

5.  Top with nuts and bake for an additional 3 minutes.


If you're more into the traditional sweet potato and marshmallow combination...replace the nuts with mini marshmallows and bake for only one minute or until they are nice and gooey...careful not to burn them!
