CREAM CHEESE STUFFED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Prepare the sweet potatoes by washing and piercing with a knife 5-6 times. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes until tender. Cook time will depend upon the size of the potatoes.
• Once the sweet potatoes have baked for around 15 minutes add the bell peppers and zucchini to the baking tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Return to the oven to continue to bake along with the potatoes.
• Add the cream cheese to a bowl and stir through the fresh herbs (reserve a little of the herbs to garnish).
• Once cooked, plate up the sweet potatoes and slice lengthways. Use a fork to 'fluff-up' the potato flesh. Add the cream cheese and vegetables. Sprinkle with a few extra fresh herbs and salt to taste.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

BAKED SWEET POTATO AND CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C/400 degrees F/gas mark 6.
• Wash the sweet potatoes, prick them with a sharp knife, then sprinkle with a little sea salt. Bake them on the top shelf of the oven for about 50 minutes until soft.
• Mix the chili and spring onion together. To serve the potatoes, make a cut in each potato and open out on a plate. Spoon on some of the cheese, sprinkle on the chili mix, then a handful of rocket, a very fine grating of lemon, sea salt, pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and finally a squeeze of lemon juice on each one. Delicious and so easy.
