Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes with Caramelized Onion and Sage
If you've been searching for a new sweet potato recipe to serve, look no further! These twice baked sweet potatoes are light and healthier than the traditional casseroles filled with brown sugar and marshmallows. This recipe let the natural sweetness in the potatoes shine, while the dominant peppery, savory flare of sage come through. The addition of caramelized onions, orange zest and Parmesan cheese balance out wow factor. These probably will work better for those of you having smaller meals, although the recipe can easily be doubled and the bonus is they can be made ahead of time and kept over night in the fridge.
