Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 4 slices bacon
• 2 large ripe avocados
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 100 grams cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Use a fork to poke several holes over the surface of each potato.

Step 3

Rub each sweet potato with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Place them on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender and a fork easily pierces through the potatoes.

Step 5

While the sweet potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain any excess fat.

Step 6

In a bowl, mash the avocados with lime juice until smooth. Chop the cherry tomatoes and roughly crumble the cooled bacon slices, then add them to the avocado mixture.

Step 7

Mix in the chopped cilantro and black pepper, stirring until everything is well combined.

Step 8

Once the sweet potatoes are fully baked, remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly before handling.

Step 9

Cut a slit down the center of each potato. Squeeze the sides lightly to open them up.

Step 10

Generously fill each sweet potato with the avocado bacon mixture. Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
