Chipotle-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Pomegranate-Pistachio Guacamole
- 4 whole Medium Sweet Potatoes
- 1 whole Chipotle Pepper Canned In Adobo, Finely Chopped
- 1 teaspoon Adobo Sauce From The Chipotle Can
- 1 teaspoon Honey Or Agave
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1- 1/2 whole Ripe Avocados, Peeled, Pitted And Diced
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/2 cups Plus 2 Tablespoons Pomegranate Arils
- 1/4 cups Shelled Pistachios, Coarsely Chopped
- 2 Tablespoons Freshly Chopped Cilantro
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Fresh Ground Pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- Wash your sweet potatoes and dry them well.
- (You want them very clean so you can eat the skins if you feel like it, okay?)
- Use a fork to carefully poke holes all over the sweet potatoes (about 2 fork pokes per side should do it), and place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet.
- Transfer the potatoes to the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes until theyre very tender.
- While the potatoes are baking, prepare the guacamole.
- In a medium bowl mash the avocados with a fork until almost smooth (a few chunks are okay, people).
- Mix in the lemon juice, pomegranate arils, pistachios and cilantro.
- Season with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface of the guacamole to keep it from browning while you finish the potatoes.
- When they are done remove the potatoes from the oven.
- Slice off a portion of the top of each sweet potato to reveal the inside.
- Use a spoon to scoop out the insides of each sweet potato and transfer the flesh to a medium bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch layer of potato inside the skins.
- Mash the potato flesh with a fork and then mix in the chopped chipotle peppers, adobo, and honey/agave.
- Season with salt to taste.
- (If you dont feel like removing the potato flesh from the skins, just mash the insides of each potato with a fork and divide the chipotle pepper, adobo and honey among each potato.)
- Carefully spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the skins.
- Top with plenty of pomegranate-pistachio guacamole and dig into your superfood sensation.
