Healthy Sweet Potato Skins


Potatoes are my guilty pleasure. Give them to me mashed, fried, baked, or any other way and I will love you forever. However, potatoes are packed with starches and carbohydrates that is not nice to the waistline. Here is a healthier alternative to the awesome bar food that uses sweet potatoes, turkey bacon and Greek yogurt. This recipe is a great way to snack and still stick to your diet. And, BONUS: they still taste amazing!

Healthy Sweet Potato Skins

Ingredients:
Coconut oil spray (or any other non-stick spray)
2 large sweet potatoes (the short, fat ones work the best)
Light cheddar cheese, shredded
Turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
Plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 tsp. parsley, chopped

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. 
2. Spray cookie sheet with oil. 
3. Cut sweet potatoes in to 1/2 inch thick circular slices. Place sweet potatoes evenly across cookie sheet. 
4. Cook for 25-30 min at 350 or until browned and tender, flipping sweet potatoes half way through. 
5. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top of sweet potatoes. Place back in oven 2-3 min or until cheese is melted. 
6. Top with bacon, Greek yogurt, green onions and parsley. Enjoy!
