Ingredients
- • medium sweet potatoes: 2, scrubbed clean
- • ripe avocado: 1, halved and pitted
- • cherry tomatoes: 1/2 cup, halved
- • fresh cilantro: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- • lime: 1, juiced
- • extra-virgin olive oil: 2 teaspoons
- • salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- 3 While the sweet potatoes are baking, scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork. Add cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- 4 Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Carefully slice each one in half lengthwise and scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create a boat shape.
- 5 Fill each sweet potato half with the avocado mixture, evenly distributing it. Sprinkle smoked paprika on top for a smoky kick.
- 6 Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • These breakfast boats pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit salad or a green smoothie for a complete, nutrient-packed start to your day. Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of chia seeds for added omega-3s and fiber. For a refreshing beverage pairing, try a light herbal tea or a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice to complement the vibrant flavors of the dish. These additions not only enhance the meal but also provide additional vitamins and hydration.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the sweet potato halves and avocado mixture separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the sweet potatoes in the oven or microwave before topping them with the avocado mixture to maintain their texture and flavor.
