How To Make Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

What you need for this recipe

1 lb grass fed sausage, browned

4 sweet potatoes

2 red bell peppers, chopped

1 medium onion, finely chopped

salt, to taste (about 1/2 tsp)

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with foil.

Thoroughly scrub and rinse sweet potatoes. Prick potatoes multiple times with a fork or knife. This helps the sweet potatoes to separate from the skin. (You can place them on a kitchen towel when you prick them if you don’t want the sweet potatoes to slide on the countertop)

Rub the sweet potatoes with oil of choice and place them on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake potatoes at 400 F for about 45 minutes or until tender.

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the filling. Brown the sausage, chop onion and red bell pepper.

Heat 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil on medium high heat and add the vegetables. Season with a dash of salt. Saute the vegetables for about 5 minutes until onion is translucent.

Stir in browned sausage and cook a couple of minutes.

When the sweet potatoes are ready, make a slit on top of each potato and top with filling.

Enjoy the deliciousness!
