Ingredients
Pizza Sweet Potato Skins
| 2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean |
| 2 Tablespoons butter (or coconut oil), melted |
| 1 Cup marinara sauce |
| 1/2 Teaspoon dried oregano (or Italian seasoning) |
| 1 Teaspoon fine grain sea salt |
| 1/8 Teaspoon ground black pepper |
| 1/2 Cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
Pizza Sweet Potato Skins Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with foil, set aside.
- Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with the tines of a fork.
- Place the sweet potatoes on the lined baking sheet and bake until tender about 45 to 50 minutes.
- When the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise.
- With a spoon scrape the sweet potato “flesh” out of the peel, leaving a thin layer inside with the peel so that it can stand up on its own (about ¼ inch).
- Transfer sweet potato flesh to a bowl, and mash it with the marinara sauce, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Brush sweet potato skins with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return to the baking sheet, skin up, and bake for further 5 minutes, to get a crispier skin.
- Take the potato skins out of the oven and fill each potato skin with sweet potato mixture, top with shredded mozzarella and your favorite toppings.
- Place them back in the oven for 4 minutes or until cheese is melted and filling is heated through.
Serve immediately!
