INGREDIENTS
1 medium Sweet Potato
4 slices Lean Bacon
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
1 large Egg White
1/3 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Chives)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Wash the sweet potato thoroughly and poke several holes in it with a fork.
Bake the sweet potato directly on the oven rack for about 45-50 minutes or until tender. Alternatively, microwave on high for 8-10 minutes if short on time.
While the sweet potato is baking, cook the lean bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it is crispy. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat, then crumble or chop into small pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the egg white, Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, and chopped herbs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the sweet potato is done, cut it in half lengthwise and gently scoop out a bit of the flesh to create a cavity, leaving a border around the edge.
Fill the cavity with the egg white and yogurt mixture, then sprinkle the crispy bacon evenly over the top.
Optional: Return the stuffed sweet potato to the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese slightly and combine the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced and nutrient-packed meal.
