Sweet Potatoes twice-baked and reinforced with crispy Bacon
Get ready to savor the sweet and savory blend of these Twice-Baked Sweet Potato Bombs with a zesty kick!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wash and scrub 4 medium sweet potatoes, toss them in some olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
Pop those bad boys in the oven and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Check with a fork after 60 minutes; if needed, kick the baking time up by another 15 minutes. Once ready, slice them in half lengthwise and let them chill for about 10 minutes. Crank up the oven temperature to 425°F (218°C).
Now, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of sweet potato flesh from each half and stow it in a large mixing bowl. Arrange the sweet potato halves on a baking sheet like VIP guests.
In the same bowl with the sweet potato pulp, mix in 1/2 cup heavy cream, half the chopped bacon (6 slices, cooked and cut into 1/2-inch pieces), a diced jalapeno (optional), 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and half the sliced green onions (3 green onions, both green and white parts). Stir it up like a cocktail!
Stuff each half of the sweet potato with the creamy, cheesy, crunchy mixture and sprinkle with the remaining green onions. Toss these sweet potato bombs back in the oven for 15 minutes, just enough time to become golden and bubbly.
Sprinkle the reserved bacon on top and serve with a "cheers!" Whether you're enjoying them on their own or alongside Crispy-Skin Chicken Breasts and Basic Skillet Kale, these babies are guaranteed to satisfy!
