Baked sweet potatoes are topped with slow cooked caramelized onions and red bell peppers. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt. Use large sweet potatoes for a delicious meatless main dish.
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup fat-free sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Scrub and dry the sweet potatoes, then prick several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and bell pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 20 to 30 minutes more.
Step 3
Split open the baked sweet potatoes and top with the onion mixture, salt, pepper, and a dollop of sour cream.
