Author Notes
Baked & stuffed sweet potatoes have been on my to-make list for quite some time now. I finally got down to making some and I'm not sure why I waited so long - such an easy and fulfilling meal. After taking an Asian street food cooking class, I wanted to use the delicious peanut sauce that we made for my baked potatoes. I've decided that the ability to whip up a quick sauce is crucial to coming up with last minute meals. So I grabbed black beans, cilantro, made my peanut sauce + sprinkled on some crushed peanuts, crunchy banana chips & finished with a squeeze of lime. Sweet potato bliss! —Oat&Sesame

- Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
-
Bake the sweet potatoes. About 40 min at 400F depending on the size your potatoes.
-
Prepare the peanut sauce and other toppings while the potatoes are baking.

Cut the baked potatoes in half, score the flesh with a knife and top with black beans, peanut sauce, cilantro, peanuts and banana chips.
-
Squeeze a lime wedge over the top!
