3. Sweet Potato Skins (recipe from foodnetwork.com)
Ingredients:
6 medium sweet potatoes
3 Tbsp. extra virgin, cold-pressed olive oil
1 cup shredded, part-skim mozzarella
2 Tbsp. grated parmesan
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup salsa verde
1/2 avocado, pitted and chunked
1 cup black bean chips, crushed
Instructions:
Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees. Place sweet potatoes on baking sheet and bake until fork-tender, 40-50 minutes. Let cool completely. (The potatoes can be baked, cooled and refrigerated a day ahead.) Split each in half lengthwise, and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch border all around. (We recommend saving the scooped-out flesh for making mashed sweet potatoes later.)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the potato skins skin-side up on the sheet, and brush with 2 tablespoons of oil. Bake until the skins are slightly browned, 20-30 minutes. Let cool completely, then cut each in half crosswise.
Arrange the pieces skin-side down on the rack, and sprinkle each with mozzarella, Parmesan, and scallions. Bake until the mozzarella melts, 8-10 minutes. Remove the potato skins from the oven and drizzle with the remaining oil. Top each with some salsa verde and avocado. Sprinkle with crushed chips.
