Cottage Cheese Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
2. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, prick them with a fork a few times, and bake for about 45 minutes or until soft.
3. Once baked, carefully slice each sweet potato lengthwise and slightly mash the insides with a fork.
4. In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese, olive oil, dill, green onions, salt, pepper, and paprika.
5. Spoon the cottage cheese mixture into each sweet potato, evenly distributing it among them.
6. Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to warm the filling.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra dill or green onions if desired.

Chef’s Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder to the cottage cheese mixture.
• Ensure sweet potatoes are cooked through by checking their softness with a fork before removing from the oven.
• Experiment with additional herbs like parsley or chives to enhance the flavor profile.
