Loaded Baked Sweet Potato Skins — chocolatecoveredkatie.com

The crowd-pleasing Super Bowl appetizer that is actually GOOD for you. These irresistible and addictive crispy baked sweet potato skins are the perfect combination of healthy and comfort food, and they’re easy to make, in just a few steps: Way better than regular baked potato skins! It’s a very good idea to make extras, especially if you’re expected to share… Poke a few holes around each potato with a fork. If using the microwave: wrap the potatoes loosely in paper towels and cook 14 minutes. If using the oven: Preheat oven to 400F place potatoes on a tray or baking dish, and bake for one hour. For both methods, once the potatoes are done, slice each in half lengthwise and scoop out about 2/3 of the flesh (save this scooped-out flesh). Preheat oven to 430 F, and either brush the skins with oil or spray with oil spray. Place on a baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and re-stuff with filling. You can also add cheese-type shreds (such as Daiya) at this time. Place under the broiler, and broil (or bake at the oven’s highest temperature) 3-4 minutes or until cheese shreds have melted.
