Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes about 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp avocado or canola oil
  • 8 ounces  Mascarpone cheese

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and have ready a rimmed sheet pan lined with aluminum foil.
  • Place the sweet potatoes on the pan, drizzle with olive oil and rub into skins.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until fork tender. Set aside and allow to cool for 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle.  
  • Cut a line down the center of the potatoes and turn over into a medium-sized mixing bowl. The flesh of the potatoes should easily fall right into the bowl.
