TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES [along with Blueberries & Pecans]
Ingredients
3 organic sweet potatoes
1/2 T organic butter or raw virgin coconut oil
2/3 C pecans
1/3 C blueberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven - 400 F.
Wash or rinse sweet potatoes. Remove any eyes with a knife.
Put sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, next put in the oven.
Leaving potatoes to bake gives you time to melt the butter or coconut oil in a skillet on a medium heat.
Once melted, add pecans and stir.
Next add the blueberries, stirring them into pecans mixture. Turn off heat, when blueberries are warm and mixed in fully. Place to the side.
Generally the sweet potatoes require 50ish minutes to cook but check them before that because sometimes they are done soon. Use a fork to check. It should easily go thru the potato if it is done.
When it's time or when sweet potatoes are cooked, removed them from oven, cut sweet potatoes in half.
Remove from the skin by scooping it out, the sweet potato from each one. Put it in medium sized bowl. Now add half the pecan blueberry mixture to your potato bowl.
Next, place potato mixture evenly back into potato skins. Return to oven but only 7-10 minutes or until the potato gets crispy on the top.
Offer with love.
Partake of the prasadam. :) Happy Ekadasi.
