Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 medium sweet potatoes (9 to 10 ounces each)
Coconut oil cooking spray
1/2 cup mascarpone
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
12 Modjeskas*, halved or 12 marshmallows and 16 soft caramels, each halved
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Pierce the skin of the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, spray with cooking spray and place in a 9-by-13-inch flameproof baking dish. Bake the sweet potatoes until tender, about 1 hour.
  • Cool the sweet potatoes enough to handle, and then cut each in half the long way and scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/8-inch of flesh around the skin. Reserve the skins for a later use.
  • In a medium bowl, add the sweet potato flesh, mascarpone, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla seeds. Using an electric hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, smash until combined. Spoon the mixture into the sweet potato skins. Top each potato skin with three Modjeska halves, caramel-side down. Alternatively, place 4 caramel halves topped with 3 marshmallow halves on each potato skin.
  • Return the sweet potatoes to the baking dish and bake until the centers are warm and the Modjeskas start to melt, about 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and cook until dark brown and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the tops with sea salt to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid potatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Scrub the potatoes well: Before cooking, scrub the potatoes thoroughly with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Pierce the potatoes: Use a fork to pierce the potatoes several times before baking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Bake at a high temperature: To get crispy skin and tender flesh, bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or higher).
  • Add flavorings: Before baking, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve immediately: Sea salt sweet potatoes are best served immediately after they are baked. However, you can also store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Sea salt sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give sea salt sweet potatoes a try!
