Roast the sweet potatoes Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then prick them several times with a fork. Rub with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 45–55 minutes, or until completely tender when pierced with a fork. 2. Prepare the meat While the sweet potatoes roast, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned and fully cooked. Season with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 2–3 minutes. 3. Open the sweet potatoes Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Make a deep slit down the center of each potato and gently open it. Fluff the inside slightly with a fork. 4. Add the toppings Generously spoon the seasoned meat over each sweet potato. Top with crumbled feta, dried cranberries, fresh parsley, and green onions. Add pumpkin seeds or chopped pecans for extra crunch. ✨ Optional finishing drizzle Mix: ¼ cup Greek yogurt 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp honey Pinch of salt Drizzle over the loaded sweet potatoes before serving. 📱 Hashtags #LoadedSweetPotato #SweetPotatoRecipe #StuffedSweetPotato #SweetPotatoDinner #EasyDinner — @i.love.food.1010 sur TikTok
