i LOVE sweet potatoes

...and so therefore...i love this recipe....

Parmesan-roasted sweet potato skins

2 pounds small sweet potatoes
2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon rosemary, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preheat oven to 400°F. If potatoes are not small, halve lengthwise to bake. Prick sweet potatoes, place on a baking sheet and bake 35 to 45 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Remove from oven and set on a rack to cool. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine Parmesan, parsley, garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, halve lengthwise. Scoop sweet potato flesh out of skins, leaving a wall 1/4-inch thick. (Reserve scooped out flesh for another use.*) Cut each sweet potato shell lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide wedges. Add skins to herbed Parmesan mixture and gently toss to combine. Place sweet potato skins on a baking sheet and broil about 5 inches from the for 4 to 6 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.

*After these sweet potato skins, you will have the scooped-out flesh of two pounds of sweet potatoes to make whipped sweet potatoes, glazed mashed sweet potatoes, or a sweet potato pie.

 

hey scarlettchasingroses, if you like sweet potatoes you might like this recipe; bake the sweet potatoes as you normally do then just before they're done (about ten mins before) split them open (if they're not already) and fill with goats cheese and some olive oil.

after about ten mins take out of the oven and season to taste. so easy!

i'm gonna try your recipe soon, i also love sweet potatoes and their colour makes me so happy just cus they're so orange!

 

mmm....i will have to try your recipe....i LOVE goat cheese as well.....
