Here'a recipe I like and I'm not big on sweet potatoes. It comes from
the cookbook, Lean and Luscious and Meatless by Bobbi Hinman and
Millie Snyder.
Sweet Stuffed Sweets
)These delicious pineapple-flavored sweet potatoes can be stuffed a day
)ahead and baked when needed.
Makes 4 servings
2 large sweet potatoes (9 oz ea.)
1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple (unsweetened, drained)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp firmly packed brown sugar
Topping:
2 tsp wheat germ
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees)
Prick sweet potatoes several times with a sharp knife and bake them 45
minutes, or until tender.
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the pulp with a
spoon, leaving a
1/4" shell.
In a medium bowl, combine potato pulp with crushed pineapple, vanilla,
cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix with a fork until well blended.
Divide mixture evenly and fill the potato shells, smoothing the tops
with
the back of a spoon.
Combine wheat germ and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over potatoes.
