Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Ham image

Hearty enough for an entree or a full-bodied side dish. My own creation trying to blend sweet and savory. Hope you enjoy and let me know all your adaptations for the under-used sweet potato! Lots of variations are possible with this. The chipotle and salty ham were a great kick with the sweetness of the potato and pineapple. No other sugars were needed. Hope you like it!

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons diced onion
3 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
1 cup diced smoked ham
⅔ cup crushed pineapple, divided
½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until softened, about 1 hour.
  • Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion and red bell pepper until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add ham, 1/2 the pineapple, and chipotle powder; saute over low heat until heated through, about 5 more minutes.
  • Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving a thin shell. Blend sweet potatoes in a blender or mash in a bowl with a potato masher. Stir the remaining pineapple, nutmeg, and cinnamon into mashed sweet potatoes.
  • Return mashed sweet potato mixture to the shells and top each with ham mixture.

These sweet potatoes were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have used less cayenne pepper.

The filling was a bit dry. I think I would have added more butter or milk.
