You can read more about how great sweet potatoes are on <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/sweet-potato-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">healthline.com</a>. I find sweet potatoes can be so versatile when it comes to cooking. That&#8217;s one reason I always make sure to have some on hand.

<p class="has-lora-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Lora;font-size:20px"><strong>Have you ever grown sweet potatoes?</strong> </p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-lora-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Lora;font-size:18px">I&#8217;ll bring you back to a couple of years ago when we did. I love experimenting not only in the kitchen but also in the garden. So when I found some old questionable sweet potatoes in my cupboard I had to see if I could get them to grow. I was so close to throwing them out but instead I let them sprout and then plugged them into a pot filled with dirt. </p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-lora-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Lora;font-size:18px">I wondered about those sweet potatoes all summer until we could dig them up. To my surprise we ended up with a handful of sweet potatoes. I was shocked and very glad I decided to plant them. I honestly didn&#8217;t know what would happen. </p>

<p class="has-karla-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:18px">If you have some family members that don&#8217;t like sweet potatoes just make sure to bake some regular potatoes along with your sweet potatoes. That&#8217;s exactly what I had to do. When I made this meal I just had this feeling that my kiddos were going to form a quick opinion about this meal as seen as they saw those sweet potatoes. </p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-karla-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:18px">I&#8217;ve made plenty of dishes that have involved sweet potatoes before but they were somewhat hidden. I know if they were given a choice they would hands down prefer a regular potato verses a sweet potato. Maybe it&#8217;s the sweetness that throws them off. </p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-karla-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Karla;font-size:18px">Guess what&#8230;that gut feeling I was having was right. They ended up picking the regular potato and choose to have the stuffing on the side. They still ate it so It was a win win in my book! Mother&#8217;s instinct&#8230;always trust it!! ð</p>

<p class="has-lora-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Lora;font-size:18px">Let&#8217;s begin by Preheating your oven to 400 degrees. You&#8217;ll want to wash and scrub your sweet potatoes and make sure they are dry. Next, you&#8217;ll want to grab a plate, fork, sheet pan and sunflower oil.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://cityfoodiefarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/img_4939-1024x560.jpg" alt="Preparing you sweet potatoes to be baked in the oven" class="wp-image-6925"/></figure>



<div style="height:29px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-lora-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Lora;font-size:18px">Next grab your fork and place a couple sweet potatoes on a plate. Give each sweet potato a poke several times with the fork. This will help release the steam as they cook. Next drizzle some oil over the top and roll them in it making sure the whole sweet potato is coated and place them on the sheet pan. Go ahead and repeat the process until all of your sweet potatoes are prepped and ready for the oven.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="has-lora-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Lora;font-size:18px">Place the pan in your 400 degree oven until your sweet potatoes are tender. Approx 40 mins.</p>



<p class="has-lora-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Lora;font-size:18px">As your sweet potatoes cook you&#8217;ll want to get your quinoa started. Follow the instructions on the package. If your curious cooking quinoa is similar to rice. 2 to 1. I always add a little less water when cooking quinoa and also rice. I use the ratio 1 cup quinoa to 1 3/4 cups water. Also add 1/4 tsp of salt. I think you&#8217;ll find how easy it is to cook. Just add it and forget it! ð. Pretty simple I&#8217;d say! </p>

<p class="has-lora-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Lora;font-size:18px">Grab your favorite pot and drizzle in some olive oil. You&#8217;ll be sautéing your onions first on medium heat making sure to season them with some salt and pepper.</p>

<p class="has-lora-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Lora;font-size:18px">Your sweet potatoes and quinoa should be ready at this point.

<p class="has-lora-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph" style="font-family:Lora;font-size:18px">Now that your quinoa is done you&#8217;ll want to add some to your sautéed mixture. Don&#8217;t add it all. You&#8217;ll want to pay attention to the ratio. I added a couple big spoonfuls. At this point you&#8217;ll want to taste it and add more seasoning if needed. I added a squeeze of lime to mine, chopped cilantro, salt and pepper. You might even want to add more chili powder or cumin. Season to taste. Finally we can start stuffing those cute little sweet potatoes. </p>
