BAKED SWEET POTATO WITH HONEY YOGURT AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Scrub the sweet potato under running water. Dry and wrap in foil.
• Bake in a 400-degree oven for 40-45 minutes or until soft.
• In the meantime, mix the yogurt, honey and mustard together. (*mustard is optional in this step, but is best to use mustard the first time to determine if you like that flavor*).
• Set aside.
• Put the walnuts on a small baking sheet or pie plate. Toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes near the end of the sweet potato cooking time. Shake them occasionally and watch them so they don't burn.
• To serve, cut the sweet potato in half, spoon with the yogurt sauce and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH YOGURT-RICE TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Score the surface of the sweet potatoes several times with a fork, then bake in an oven-proof pan about 35 to 40 minutes or until tender.
• Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine yogurt, rice, apricots, salt & pepper.
• When potatoes are done & cool enough to be handled, slit each one down the middle & EITHER remove several tablespoons of flesh to make room for the filling, OR slit each potato enough so that they can be opened enough to contain the filling.
• Set opened potatoes on a serving platter & spoon filling into the opening on top of each potato.
• Garnish with toasted pecans & serve!
