Gluten Free Loaded Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the sweet potatoes on one of the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the sweet potatoes are soft to a light squeeze (with a mitt or towel), 45 minutes to an hour.
• Meanwhile, toast the pepitas in a dry skillet, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Add the brown sugar and spices to a medium skillet over medium-high heat and cook until the skillet is hot. Add 1 tablespoon water to the skillet and stir until the sugar is melted. Stir in the pepitas until they are completely coated, then spread the mixture on the other lined baking sheet. Let cool completely.
• Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly. Slice them in half, then lightly mash the flesh in the skin with a fork. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving tray. Dollop each with about 1/4 cup sour cream, then sprinkle each with the pepitas and mint. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a large microwave- and oven-safe casserole dish.
• Place butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high until melted, 30 to 45 seconds. Whisk in cornstarch and cayenne pepper to form a paste. Add milk and whisk until well blended. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave until thick, another 2 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese.
• Place 1/2 of the potatoes in the prepared casserole dish and spread 1/2 of the sauce over top. Repeat with remaining potatoes and sauce. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and paprika over top.
• Microwave, covered, on high for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Transfer potatoes to the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, until sauce is bubbly and potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
