Sweet Potato Skins

i am very anxious to try these. if i use light sour cream and go light on the shredded cheese i think that i can categorize these as “healthy?”

INGREDIENTS
4 smalls sweet potatoes washed and cut in half
1 medium onion
1/2 cup peppers mix of sweet and spicy
1/4 cup cilantro
1/4 cup tomatoes diced
1 tablespoon cilantro
1 cup Colby Jack Cheese
sour cream and extra cilantro for topping
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil

DIRECTIONS
*Pre-heat oven to 425˚, cut sweet potatoes in half and place cut side up on a baking tray. Bake until sweet potato has softened, about 25-30 minutes.

*While the sweet potatoes bake, heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and add diced onions and peppers. Let saute until onions become translucent. Stir in tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice an continue to cook until mixture is heated through, set aside until skins are done.

*Once sweet potatoes are soft, scoop out the insides leaving 1/4″ of sweet potato in the skin. (saving the rest of the sweet potato for another project.)

Turn skins upside down, brush with remaining olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 10 minutes, flip, and bake for another 10 minutes- skin should be crispy. Sprinkle cheese in the insides of the skins and return to the oven to bake for another 4-5 minutes until cheese has melted. Remove and top with onion mixture and sour cream (avocado would also go great here!)
