Baked Sweet Potato with Honey Yogurt and Walnuts


1 Serving

Tip: Bake several sweet potatoes at once and keep them for quick meals. Pick small ones or cut them in 4-ounce pieces to cook.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Start to finish: 10 minutes

Ingredients
1 small sweet potato (4 oz)
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp walnuts, coarsely chopped


Instructions


Scrub the sweet potato well 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. Set aside.
Put the walnuts on a small baking sheet or pie plate. Toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes toward 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.
