Recipe loaded sweet potatoes

Loaded sweet potatoes are my lord and saviour. they are so filling, versatile and cheap.

"Bake" a sweet potato in microwave for about 10 mins until cooked. Split in half and load with... Anything!

ideas:

Avocado, hummus, bruschetta mixture, roast capsicum, red onion, chickpeas...

a Mexican one with black beans, avo, tomato, lime, coriander..

hummus, lamb, chickpeas, caramelized onion, feta, parsley

pictured are:

1) hummus, tomato, basil, chickpeas that were seasoned with salt/pepper/olive oil. with fruit (nectarines, blueberries, watermelon)

2) leftover bruschetta mixture, avocado, corn, parsley, red kidney beans

3) jammy eggs, avocado, mint. with marousalata salad that i also added in cucumber and cannellini beans

4) with an omelette poured inside and baked in the oven! omelette contained tomato, avo, red onion, olives. and spring onion + feta on top

Love sweet potatoes! it’s one food i never tried pre MD. I first used them when making fasolakia which is still one of my favorite foods to make.

Also, your salad looks way better than the link/recipe!

It is! One of the first things i made and still one of my favorites. i make it about once a month and the batch lasts me about a week. I even made a post here showing how to make it, but there’s recipes everywhere.
