Loaded Baked Sweet Potatoes

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I have a sweet spot for sweet potatoes. They’re filling, delicious and are yummy either sweet or savory! These baked sweet potatoes are one of my go-to weeknight meals or make for a great brown bag lunch.

I usually use whatever leftover veggies I have on hand as a tasty topper, but this time I went for a few simple and flavorful standby’s. Topped with avocado, tomatoes, herbs, chiles and a squeeze of lime, these sweet potatoes are almost irresistible! Serve your ‘tater over mixed greens or spinach for a delicious and filling meal.
