    Once I started experimenting with sweet potato recipes, I was hooked. These twice baked sweet potatoes with bleu cheese and caramelized red onions became an instant hit in my house. They are easy to make, healthy-ish but filling, and packed with flavor. 

    How to bake sweet potatoes

    Baking sweet potatoes is quite simple. First, whip out a fork to poke holes around the potato. This will let out steam as they cook. Generously apply olive oil and salt to the outside of the soon-to-be baked sweet potatoes. And pop them in the oven for an hour.

    The fastest way to bake sweet potatoes

    For quick baked sweet potatoes, cut them in half. Coat with olive oil and salt, then place the cut side down on parchment paper. Bake for 30-40 minutes.

    Fillings for twice baked sweet potatoes

    The filling can be made ahead for busy weeknight meals and holidays. The filling for this twice baked sweet potato recipe is basically mashed sweet potatoes with blue cheese. For this savory twice baked sweet potatoes recipe, add butter, salt, pepper, blue cheese and caramelized red onions.  

    Twice baked sweet potatoes can also be flavored with gorgonzola or goat cheese, bacon, marshmallows, brown sugar and pecans.

    Most recently, I made these twice baked sweet potatoes as a Thanksgiving side dish for sous vide turkey breast. The presentation is beautiful, and being able to prep them in advance is a complete time saver. For a vegetable, try pairing the sweet potatoes with these sous vide brussels sprouts.

      I love the sound of this shortcut for baking sweet potatoes! They are one the rare healthy veggies that I, my husband, and our son all enjoy, so I love making them, except for the time commitment! Having them done in 30 minutes would be lovely! And I am REALLY loving the sound of them paired with caramelized red onions – yum!5 stars

      I can’t really imagine what cheese and sweet potatoes would be like together – I haven’t had cheese in 17 years! Crazy, right?! I will take your word for it – I do love me some sweet potatoes. Actually, love is an understatement. I am obsessed with sweet potatoes, haha!

      Now, this is a recipe that my husband would absolutely love! He always picks sweet potatoes over a regular potato and blue cheese is his dressing of choice. It’s not a recipe for me, but I’ll have to surprise him with this next time we make sweet potatoes.

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook. And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.
