Baked Stuffed Sweet Potatoes With Broccoli, Cranberries And Walnuts

This gorgeous sweet potato dish is really tasty and good for you!  It is so full of color – you’ve got orange, green, red and brown, and it’s super nutritious, low fat and low carb.  Healthy sweet potatoes are baked in the oven, then stuffed with roasted broccoli, dried cranberries and walnuts.  Yum!

You can serve it as a generous side dish alongside a simple main dish like sliced turkey or chicken breast.  You can also serve this stuffed sweet potato on its own, as a healthy vegetarian main dish – walnuts are full of protein and this huge stuffed sweet potato will make you full!

I got the idea for this recipe from the stuffed baked sweet potatoes sold in the Whole Foods deli case.  It is so much cheaper to make these stuffed sweet potatoes yourself, especially if you are making more than one.  And even those this dish looks so fancy, making it is pretty simple as the sweet potatoes and broccoli bake in the oven at the same time.
