Sweet potatoes are an extremely versatile vegetable that you can use in savory salty dishes as well as sweet recipes. I always adored the sweet-savory combination so baked stuffed sweet potatoes with a salty filling makes the perfect meal for me. Filled with good carbs, proteins and fibers, anyone can enjoy it for lunch or dinner.

Initially, I didn’t like sweet potatoes but I’m glad I gave them one more shot because I’ve since cooked a lot of great sweet potato recipes that I’ve come to love.

When baking sweet potatoes, their sweetness comes to life and perfectly complements the bacon flavor in a very nice way. If you want to spice them up a little bit, you can add some cayenne pepper or maybe a chili!

Ingredients
  • 2 sweet potatoes, skin on
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil for dairy-free
  • 1/2 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 slices bacon, cut into small bits
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions
  1. Rinse the potatoes well.

  2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and bake the potatoes at 400° for 35-50 minutes until tender.

  3. Remove from the oven and let cool a little bit.

  4. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan, and add the broccoli. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

  5. Remove the pan content, and add the bacon bits. Cook until crispy and slightly brown.
