Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
30 mins

Place the sweet potato directly on the baking sheet or a foil-lined baking sheet for easier cleanup. Bake until the sweet potato is easily pierced with a fork and feels soft, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on size.

03

Step
15 mins

While the sweet potato bakes, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 8 minutes.

04

Step
5 mins

Add the red bell pepper and chopped green chile pepper to the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 7 minutes.

05

Step

Stir in the vegetarian ground beef alternative and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

06

Step

Once the sweet potato is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven. Slice it in half lengthwise. Fluff the insides slightly with a fork.

07

Step

Top each sweet potato half generously with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Dollop with Greek yogurt and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Serve immediately.

For a vegan option, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative or a drizzle of tahini.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the skillet, such as zucchini, mushrooms, or corn.
For a spicier kick, use a hotter variety of green chile pepper, such as jalapeño or serrano.
If you don't have roasted green chiles on hand, you can roast your own under the broiler or use a can of diced green chiles.
Consider adding a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness.
