Stuffed baked potatoes are one of my all time favorites. Usually stuffed with grease, fat and a variety of dairy products, they aren't exactly healthy. This alternative is sweet, salty, and delicious. It will satisfy your craving in no time and will leave you feeling great.
Ingredients:
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 red apple, diced
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and diced
- 3 packed cups spinach
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Instructions:
Cook turkey bacon in frying pan, dice, and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees Fahrenheit. Wash and scrub your sweet potatoes, prick them with a fork and place on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake until soft all the way through, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. While your sweet potatoes are baking, preheat a saute pan over medium heat. Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and add your onions, stirring often. Cook onions for 5-7 minutes or until translucent. Add the bell pepper, apples and cranberries, cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cooked turkey bacon and spinach, stir often for 2-3 minutes until all spinach has cooked down. Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat. To serve, slice each sweet potato lengthwise and push on the ends to open up the middle. Spoon the stuffing into each sweet potato and serve!
