My favorite fall side dish. Twice Baked Sweet Potato is the perfect side dish or light dinner option. We topped outs with marshmallows and the kids loved them.
How to Make Twice Baked Sweet Potato:
Step one: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step two: Pierce each sweet potato with a fork several times and then wrap them in foil. Bake for 60-75 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Tip: When picking your sweet potato to try to keep them all around the same size so they can all bake together evenly. A longer potato will always bake more evenly than the short and fatter sweet potato.
Step three: Remove potatoes from the oven and allow to cool enough to be handles.
Step four: Cut potatoes in half and spoon out the insides. (careful not to scoop out to much) and place into a bowl.
Step five: Add brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and butter to the insides and mix until well combined and butter is melted. Add this back into each potato.
Step Six: Top each sweet potato with mini marshmallows and place back into the oven to broil for 30-50 seconds until golden brown.
How to Store Sweet Potatoes:
If you don’t plan on eating these right away I would skip the marshmallows. Once cooked allow to cool then wrap in foil and place in an airtight container. Keep in the fridge for 3-4 days then reheat and serve.
