Chef's Note

For extra flavor, you can add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of chopped nuts if you have them on hand. The sweet potatoes can be microwaved ahead of time and reheated when ready to eat.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole sweet potatoes, medium-sized

  • 1 cup cottage cheese, 2% milkfat

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
  • 1

    Wash 2 medium sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water.

  • 2

    Use a fork to pierce each sweet potato 6-8 times all around to allow steam to escape during cooking.

  • 3

    Place the sweet potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 5 minutes.

  • 4

    Turn the sweet potatoes over and microwave for another 3-5 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

  • 5

    Remove the sweet potatoes from the microwave using oven mitts or a kitchen towel as they will be hot.

  • 6

    Cut a slit lengthwise along the top of each sweet potato, being careful of the escaping steam.

  • 7

    Gently press the ends to open up the sweet potatoes.

  • 8

    Divide 1 cup of cottage cheese evenly between the two sweet potatoes.

  • 9

    Sprinkle each with 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.

  • 10

    Allow to cool slightly before serving.
