Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 1 each Japanese sweet potato (12-ounce)
  • 2 Tbsp white miso paste
  • 0.5 cup whole milk skyr or Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Wash the sweet potato and pierce the skin all over with a knife. Wrap it in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until tender. Check with a knife; it should slide in easily.
  • Let the potato cool slightly, then slice it down the center and scoop out most of the interior, leaving the skin intact.
  • In a bowl, combine the scooped sweet potato, miso paste, skyr or Greek yogurt, and maple syrup. Mix until creamy.
  • Spoon the mixture back into the sweet potato skins and return to the oven for another 20-25 minutes until the tops are caramelized.
  • Drizzle with additional maple syrup if desired and serve warm.
