Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

4 medium-large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine
2 medium-small zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
3 to 4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup creamy goat cheese
Pinch of salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bake or microwave the sweet potatoes until done but still firm. When cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out the inside of each potato half, leaving a sturdy shell, about 1/4 inch thick all around.

    Step 2

    Transfer the scooped-out potato to a mixing bowl and mash coarsely.

    Step 3

    Heat the margarine in a medium skillet. Add the zucchini and sauté, stirring frequently, until it is golden and tender. Add the scallions and sauté for another minute or so.

    Step 4

    Combine the zucchini mixture with the mashed sweet potato in the mixing bowl. Add the goat cheese and salt, and stir well to combine.

    Step 5

    Stuff the mixture back into the potato shells. Heat as needed in the microwave or in a preheated 400°F oven, and serve.
