About This Recipe

These cheesy baked sweet potato skins are loaded with fat free black re-fried beans, salsa and cheddar cheese. Just a few ingredients but they taste SO good!

Ingredients

  • 6 small sweet potatoes (about 2 ¼ pounds*)
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup fat free refried black beans
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 3/4 cup shredded reduced fat cheddar
  • 2 scallions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Adjust oven rack to center of oven.
  2. Place whole sweet potatoes on a sheet pan covered in foil or parchment, poke each a few times with a fork. Bake until fork tender, 40-45 minutes.
  3. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Switch oven from bake to broil.
  4. Meanwhile in a small bowl combine black beans with taco seasoning.
  5. Cut sweet potatoes in half and carefully scoop out flesh with a metal spoon, leaving about ¼-inch of flesh intact.*
  6. Place potatoes, skin side up back on the sheet pan, spray with olive oil, top with pinch salt and pepper, and broil for 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Remove skins from oven, turn over and fill each with black beans, 1 tbsp salsa and 1 tbsp cheese then return to oven to broil 2 minutes more.
  8. Top with each skin with scallions and cilantro and eat right away.
