These Loaded baked sweet potatoes are to die for. All the sweet potato recipes that I have tried before have been sweet dishes so I wasn’t sure if this would work. I have seen other versions of this recipe but never care to try them until today. I was a bit skeptical because I didn’t know if the flavors were going to work…they worked perfectly!

I am glad I tried these loaded baked sweet potatoes because they are just plain sensational.

I urge you to try this recipe. It is fairly easy and you can add any other veggies of your choice. I thought the onions and sweet potatoes were enough so for me, I will keep the recipe just as is next time I make it.

I did quite a large portion for this recipe so I used my large roasting pan. I don’t get to use it as much as I would like to but I am glad I purchased it because it is truly a life saver, especially when it comes to roasting veggies since I do large quantities of them.

On another note, I want to let you know that my cookbook, The Matcha Cookbook: Green Tea-Inspired Meals, Snacks, Drinks and Desserts.

Loaded baked sweet potatoes

Miryam's original recipe

Yield: 8 servings

Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
• 2 large red onion, cut into strips
• 1 tbs of taco seasoning, any other seasoning will work
• 6 slices provolone cheese
• 4 oz cherry tomatoes, chopped
• 3 oz gorgonzola cheese
• 3 tbs olive oil
• Fresh parsley

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375F. In a large roasting pan add the onions, sweet potatoes, olive oil and seasoning and mix through. Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes (depending how thick you have cut the potatoes)

Take roasting pan out of the oven and add the slices of provolone, tomatoes and gorgonzola cheese. Place back into the oven for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the potatoes and serve while they are warm.

NOTE: I used a mixture of provolone cheese and gorgonzola cheese but you can add any other cheese of your choice.

This grilled cheese spinach sandwich was extremely simple to prepare. I choose a thick multigrain bread, which I spread some fresh pesto sauce and tabasco, and then placed the provolone cheese and fresh spinach in there!

The trick that I found when making stuffed grilled cheese sandwiches is to place cheese slices in between the greens, which makes it easier for the veggies to be held into place.

For grilled sandwiches you can pretty much use any stuffing of your choice. With grilled cheese sandwiches you can get creative. Using sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese will be my next choice. Stay tuned for that version because it is going to be the bomb.

Do you have any unusual grilled cheese sandwiches you and your family enjoy? I would love to know about it. The more ideas I get the better. You can’t really go wrong with grilled cheese sandwiches. I have seen sweet variations using blueberries and cream cheese…yum.

Well, there is not much to say about this grilled cheese and spinach sandwich. I leave you with this quick variation that I am sure everyone will love. It is simple, tasty and super delicious and go ahead and make your own variations.

Enjoy!
