Ingredients
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.
