Time 45m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 small sweet potato (4 oz)
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons walnuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Scrub the sweet potato 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. (*mustard is optional in this step, but is best to use mustard the first time to determine if you like that flavor*).
  • Set aside.
  • Put the walnuts on a small baking sheet or pie plate. Toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes near 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.
