Spiced Beef Stuffed Sweet Potatoes!
These not-so-little boats of joy, inspired by Molly Yeh's Meaty Twice Baked Potatoes, are the perfect high protein, nutritious, and DELICIOUS bite to make on game day or any day!
The spiced beef with the sweet potato is such an amazing flavor combination, and I loved it! If you want your skins crispier, you can swap out the sweet potato for a white or gold potato.
...and, oh my goodness, the leftovers were SUCH a great lunch the next day! These would also travel really well! If you take them into the office, you'll be the envy of everyone when these come out of the microwave!
Ingredients:
1 lb small Sweet Potatoes
2 tsp Olive Oil
½ Onion
2 cloves Garlic
¼ cup fresh Cilantro
¼ cup fresh Parsley
1 lb 90% lean Ground Beef
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Paprika
¼ tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
Instructions:
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then rub them with the olive oil and some salt.
Place the sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast at 375 until they are soft.
After the sweet potatoes are cooked, cut each one in half and scoop out the middle to form a “boat,” leaving enough of an edge around the sides and the bottom to make them stable.
Reserve the inside in a large bowl.
Combine the onion, garlic, cilantro, and parsley in a food processor and process until minced.
Into the bowl with the reserved sweet potato, add the beef, the minced vegetables from the food processor and the rest of the ingredients.
Mix by hand, then divide the meat mixture into oblong meatballs to fit inside the sweet potato boats.
Bake the stuffed sweet potatoes in the same 375 degree oven for 30-40 minutes, until cooked through, and enjoy!
