This is a simple and filling recipe. The cool and spicy avocado topping is a pleasant contrast to the hot sweet yams. Ingredients:
4 (8 ounce) yams |
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced |
2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1/4 cup olive oil |
2 green onions, sliced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
3 tablespoons lime juice |
salt and ground black pepper to taste |
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place yams on a baking sheet.
2. Bake yams for 40 minutes, or until tender, turning occasionally. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together the red pepper, avocado, cilantro, olive oil, green onions, cumin and lime juice.
4. Cut yams in half lengthwise, and fluff the centers with a fork. Top with the avocado stuffing. Season with salt and pepper, and top with shredded Cheddar cheese.
