Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes with Ricotta
Ingredients
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Use a fork to prick the surface of potatoes, making sure not to puncture them deeply.
3
Place the pricked potatoes in the preheated oven and let them cook until they are tender, approximately 1 hour.
4
While the potatoes are cooking, lower the oven temperature to a moderate heat of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
5
Prepare a large baking sheet by greasing it with oil to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
6
Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat on your stovetop.
7
Add sliced shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly browned, taking around 10 minutes.
8
Remove the skillet from the heat source and let it cool down.
9
Carefully scoop out the flesh of each potato, leaving a small amount of flesh attached to the skin.
10
Set the skin aside and transfer the scooped-out potato flesh into a blender or food processor.
11
Blend the potato mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
12
Mix in ricotta, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and ginger into the blender until well combined.
13
Transfer the blended potato mixture to a separate bowl and stir in cooked shallots, Parmesan cheese, and sage.
14
Spoon the potato mixture back into the skin, placing it onto the prepared baking sheet.
15
Bake the stuffed potatoes in the oven until heated through, taking about 30 minutes.
