How to Make Baked Sweet Potato With Maple Jalapeno Sour Cream
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) and position rack in the center.
- Scrub and thoroughly dry 2 medium sweet potatoes.
- Rub sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Bake directly on the rack for 40-45 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
- While sweet potatoes bake, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt), 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 finely chopped jalapeno pepper (remove seeds for less heat), 1 tablespoon lime juice, and a dash of your favorite hot sauce (start with 1/4 teaspoon and adjust to taste).
- Refrigerate the sour cream mixture until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld.
- Serve warm baked sweet potatoes with a generous dollop of the maple-jalapeno sour cream. Garnish with 2 tablespoons crumbled bacon and 1 tablespoon chopped green onions.
