  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Category: side
  • Method: bake
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 sweet potatoes
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 200g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 5 sprigs chives, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork so that their excess moisture can escape while they are cooking.
  3. Wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in a baking pan.
  4. Roast them in the oven for about 50 minutes, until completely soft. The time they will need to cook depends on their size. If your sweet potatoes are too large they will need more time to bake. You can prick them with a small knife to see if they are soft. If the knife sinks into the sweet potato flesh without any resistance, then they are ready.
  5. As soon as they are soft, remove from oven.
  6. Unwrap them from the foil and carefully cut them in half, lengthwise.
  7. Use a fork to remove the sweet potato flesh, leaving the shells intact. You will fill them again when the filling is ready.
  8. Transfer the flesh to a bowl and mash a little with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Add some crumbled feta cheese and finely chopped chives and mix to combine.
  9. Fill the sweet potato skins with the filling.
  10. Serve.
