Servings 4
Author Shannah @ Just Us Four

Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 2 tsp grapeseed oil
  • 1/2 medium sized onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup cashew pieces roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pierce cleaned sweet potatoes with a fork 5-6 times. Wrap in foil and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until medium firmness {you don't want them as soft as you would for mashed sweet potatoes}. Remove from oven and take off foil to let cool.
  • Slice sweet potatoes lengthwise down the middle. Scoop out the inside of the potato and place in a medium sized bowl. Mash with a fork.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a small pan. Add onion and saute for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and ginger and saute for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and add to the bowl with the potato pulp. Add cilantro, garam marsala and lemon juice. Stir together until well combined.
  • Spoon mixture back into potato skins and place in the oven for 5-6 minutes or until hot. Top with cashew pieces and serve.
