Ingredients
- • medium sweet potatoes: 2
- • mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews): 1/4 cup, chopped
- • pumpkin seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • sunflower seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- • fresh chives: 1 tablespoon, chopped
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
- • garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • cayenne pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • salt and black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2 Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Pierce them several times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until tender.
- 3 While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, parsley, chives, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 4 Once the sweet potatoes are done, allow them to cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out some of the flesh, creating a boat shape. Be sure to leave enough flesh to keep the skin intact.
- 5 Fill each sweet potato boat with the nut and herb mixture, pressing gently to compact the filling. Serve warm and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
- • Pair these Savory Sweet Potato Boats with a light mixed greens salad for an even more refreshing breakfast. The crisp greens complement the rich filling perfectly. For a beverage, consider serving with a freshly brewed herbal tea or a citrus-infused sparkling water to enhance the meal's freshness. These breakfast boats are also great alongside a side of fresh fruit like orange slices or berries, providing a sweet and juicy contrast to the savory flavors.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sweet potato boats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain their nutritional value, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it may make the nuts and seeds lose their crunch.
