This recipe is not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients, making it a wholesome and indulgent addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking pan and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

2. 2. Once the sweet potatoes have baked, let them cool slightly. Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a bowl, leaving a small border around the skin.

3. 3. Mash the sweet potato flesh with the Greek yogurt or sour cream, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.

4. 4. Spoon the sweet potato mixture back into the potato skins.

5. 5. In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the chopped walnuts and light brown sugar, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the mixture is slightly toasted and caramelized.

6. 6. Sprinkle the walnut topping over the filled sweet potatoes. Bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until heated through and slightly golden on top.

7. 7. Enjoy these Maple Walnut Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes warm as a delightful fall side dish.

Notes

Choose small to medium-sized sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes for even baking.

Adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your taste preferences. Start with 3 tablespoon and add more if you prefer a sweeter filling.

Experiment with toppings; while walnuts are used in this recipe, pecans can also be a delicious alternative.
