Best Herb Roasted Sweet Potato Skins Recipes

SWEET POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until fork-tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely. (The potatoes can be baked, cooled and refrigerated a day ahead.) Split each in half lengthwise, and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch border all around. (Save the scooped-out flesh for making mashed sweet potatoes later.)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange the potato skins skin-side up on the rack, and brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Bake until the skins are slightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely, then cut each in half crosswise.
• Arrange the pieces skin-side down on the rack, and sprinkle each with mozzarella, Parmesan and scallions. Bake until the mozzarella melts, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the potato skins from the oven, and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Top each with some salsa verde and avocado. Sprinkle with crushed chips.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH HORSERADISH BUTTER

Steps:

• In a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, combine butter, horseradish, parsley, dill, panko, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Close the bag, pressing out most of the air. Mash everything together until well combined and smooth, then use a ruler or the back edge of a knife to scrape and work the butter to the bottom of the bag so it forms a log, rolling it as you go. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up, or up to 1 week.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prick sweet potatoes several times with a fork and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the size of the potatoes. Once cool enough to handle, unwrap and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds (there is no need to peel unless you dislike the skins). Potatoes can be roasted up to 2 days ahead; wrap and chill, then slice them just before using.
• Arrange rounds on a large rimmed baking sheet and count how many you have. Slice enough thin slabs of butter from the log so that you have one per potato slice, and place butter on top of potato slices.
• Move the oven rack so that it's 4 inches away from the broiler. Bake potatoes at 350 degrees until they are heated through and the butter is softened, 5 to 15 minutes depending upon how cold the potatoes were. Adjust oven temperature to broil, and broil until the butter is golden brown at the edges, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve garnished with herbs and fresh horseradish if you like.

HERB-ROASTED SWEET POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Pierce potatoes all over with a fork then arrange on a greased foil-lined baking sheet, cut sides down, and bake until tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside until cool enough to handle; reserve foil-lined baking sheet.
• Arrange a rack in the oven about 6 inches from the heating element and preheat broiler. Scoop about half of the potato flesh from the skins, leaving a 1/2-inch thick wall around the edges and bottom of each half. (Reserve scooped out flesh for another use.) Cut each sweet potato shell lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips then arrange on the same foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
• In a small bowl, combine oil, parsley, oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, salt and pepper then brush all over potato skins and broil until browned in parts and piping hot, 4 to 6 minutes total.

PARMESAN-ROASTED SWEET POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet & bake for about 35-45 minutes or until they are tender but not mushy, then remove them from the oven & set them on a wire rack to cool, while increasing the oven temperature to broil.
• In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt & ground pepper.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, halve them lengthwise & scoop the flesh out of the skins, leaving a shell from 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick. Cut each sweet potato shell lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide wedges.
• Add the skins to the herbed Parmesan mixture & gently toss to combine.
• Place the sweet potato wedges on a baking sheet & broil from 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted & bubbly.
• Serve hot & ENJOY!
