Stuffed BBQ Sweet Potato Skins

Servings

3

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Take the sweet potato and stab a few small holes for steam to release while baking. Bake the whole sweet potatoes for about 50-55 minutes until tender (you can test by stabbing each with a fork. If the fork goes in easily and you can feel that they are soft then they are done).

Once they are done baking, cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the filling so that you are left with a 1 cm border on sweet potato all around the skin. Lightly salt and pepper the skins, flesh side up (pictured below)

While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the filling. Put the spinach in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute to wilt the spinach. Set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together the cooked shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, cheese, spinach, and diced red onion. (Option to use canned chickpeas instead of chicken for vegetarian) 

Spoon filling evenly into the 4 sweet potato halves. Bake for 10 minutes, then add extra grated cheese on top of each. Bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve on its own or with a side salad. Cut in half or thirds for a game day appetizer. Enjoy!

Ingredients

For the Pita Bread
For the Fish
For the Lemon Basil Vinaigrette
For the Tzatziki
For the Tomato Cucumber Salad

Instructions

To prepare the fish:

Add all the fish spices to a small bowl and mix until evenly incorporated. Spread evenly on both sides of the fish. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.  

Prepare the ingredients for the tzatziki. Grate or finely dice enough cucumber to yield ½ cup. Using a towel, press any moisture out of the grated cucumber (doesn’t have to be perfect). Add all the ingredients into a bowl and mix with a spoon. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt/pepper accordingly. 

For the dressing

Add all of the dressing ingredients into a bowl. Whisk to combine and taste for seasoning. 

Meanwhile, dice the tomatoes and cucumber and add to a large salad bowl along with the quartered artichoke hearts. Option to add pitted olives and feta. Dress the salad with enough dressing to evenly coat. 

To cook the fish, heat 2 tbsps of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the fish. Cook for 3-6 minutes a side, depending on the thickness (the underside will look golden brown and crisp when ready to flip). Carefully flip the fish (it will be very delicate so it’s okay if it flakes and falls apart a little). You will know the fish is done when it is opaque all the way through. Squeeze a slice of fresh lemon over the hot fish.

To serve:

Warm the pita in a skillet brushed with olive oil for 30 seconds-1 minute. On the warm pita, layer the base with a spoonful of the tzatziki, followed by a spoonful of the tomato salad. Carefully place a piece of hot fish on top. Garnish with more vinaigrette, tzatziki, or lemon and enjoy!

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil and sliced onion. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. White the onion is cooking, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and half of the parmesan in a large bowl.

After 10 minutes, add the minced garlic to the onions and stir for 1 minute. Add the egg mixture to the hot pan. Next, carefully layer the zucchini and asparagus on top of the frittata in a pretty design. 

Season the top with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the mozzarella balls evenly in the frittata and sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan. *This frittata is very versatile. If you prefer different cheeses or vegetables feel free to experiment. If you want your vegetables to be more “well done” then “aldente” feel free to roast or steam the vegetables ahead of time before placing them into the frittata. If you have any leftover cooked vegetables this would be a great place to use them

Bake for 15-18 minutes until the eggs are cooking through. Garnish with fresh basil. Serve with a salad such as strawberry spinach salad.
