Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 small sweet potatoes
Toppings
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
- 2 tablespoons cacao nibs or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 400ºF to prepare for baking the sweet potatoes.
- Prep Sweet Potatoes: Prick the sweet potatoes several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake Sweet Potatoes: Bake the sweet potatoes for 30 to 35 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Cool: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes to make handling easier.
- Slice and Spread: Split the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter on each half.
- Add Banana: Slice the banana and distribute half of the slices on each peanut butter-topped potato half.
- Top and Serve: Sprinkle each sweet potato half with hemp seeds and cacao nibs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use small sweet potatoes for a perfect individual serving size.
- Substitute almond or sunflower seed butter for peanut butter if desired.
- For a vegan and gluten-free option, ensure all toppings meet dietary needs.
- Cacao nibs add crunch and antioxidants, but mini chocolate chips can be used for a sweeter touch.
- Allow sweet potatoes to cool slightly to avoid burns when handling and slicing.
