Ingredients

• 4 large Sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce each one several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 3

Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 4

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes, until they are safe to handle.

Step 5

Using a sharp knife, cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch around the edges to maintain the shell's structure.

Step 6

Transfer the scooped sweet potato flesh into a large mixing bowl. Add the butter, Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, honey, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 7

Mash the mixture thoroughly using a fork, potato masher, or hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Spoon the mashed sweet potato mixture evenly back into the hollowed-out sweet potato skins. Place the filled potatoes back onto the baking sheet.

Step 9

Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until heated through and slightly golden on the top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Limed Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes!
