This is the perfect snack when you’re a little hungry but still crave something sweet. If you have a leftover baked sweet potato from dinner, this is a great way to make an easy snack out of it! The date caramel gives natural sweetness, while the yogurt makes it creamy and refreshing. It’s a filling, nutrient-dense recipe to give into your sweet tooth!
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato
- ⅓ cup date caramel, divided
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- ½ cup Cocojune yogurt (or your favorite plain yogurt), divided
- 3 tablespoons walnuts (or granola), divided
- Sea salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the cut side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until the sweet potato is soft throughout and caramelized on top.
- Let the potato rest until cool enough to handle, then slice each half down the middle.
- Cover each half with 3 tablespoons date caramel, then sprinkle each with cinnamon.
- Top each side with ¼ cup yogurt.
- Chop up the walnuts and sprinkle on top of each half.
- Add another sprinkle of cinnamon, then a sprinkle of salt. Serve immediately.
