Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
1 hrs 15 mins

Bake sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack until tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. (75 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Let sweet potatoes cool slightly until they are easy to handle. (10 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Carefully slice a thin portion lengthwise from the top of each sweet potato and discard the slice. Gently scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer inside the skin to maintain its shape. Place the scooped pulp into a mixing bowl. (10 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Add softened cream cheese to the sweet potato pulp and mash until smooth and creamy. Stir in brown sugar, toasted pecans, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. (5 minutes)

06

Step
10 mins

Spoon the mixture back into the sweet potato skins, mounding slightly. Place the filled sweet potatoes onto a baking sheet. (10 minutes)

07

Step
20 mins

Bake until heated through and lightly golden on top, 15 to 20 minutes. (20 minutes)

08

Step

Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional pecans or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

For an extra layer of flavor, try using maple syrup instead of brown sugar.
To toast pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
The baked sweet potato pulp can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just add the toppings and bake before serving.
For a dairy-free version, substitute the cream cheese with a plant-based alternative.
Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for an added layer of warmth.
