Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Sweet Potatoes


  • Author: Stephanie

Ingredients

Scale

4 medium sweet potatoes

2 cups broccoli florets, steamed

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1 tbsp butter (optional)

Salt & pepper, to taste

Optional toppings: chopped green onions, crispy bacon bits, or paprika


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash sweet potatoes and pierce with a fork several times.

  • Bake directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet for 40–45 min until tender.

  • While potatoes bake, steam broccoli until bright green and tender. Chop finely.

  • Once sweet potatoes are done, let cool slightly. Slice open and fluff the insides with a fork.

  • Mix steamed broccoli, cheddar, Greek yogurt, butter, salt, and pepper. Spoon mixture into sweet potatoes.

  • Optional: return stuffed potatoes to the oven for 5 min to melt cheese fully. Serve warm.

Notes

Can prep sweet potatoes ahead of time; reheat before stuffing.

Add-ins: caramelized onions, roasted garlic, or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.

For a vegan version, use dairy-free cheese and plant-based yogurt or butter.

Great as a hearty side or a light main course.
