Thanksgiving Twice Baked Pumpkin-Sweet Potatoes
by Megan Todd from Warren, OH
These twice baked sweet potatoes do taste of Thanksgiving and are a fantastic holiday side dish. The filling is creamy and has just enough balance of sweetness and spices. Sweet potato flavor shines bright. We used a spiced pumpkin butter for testing and it was an amazing combination with the sweet potatoes. Fresh ginger gives the easy side dish a zing. Chopped pecans and bacon on top add a bit of savoriness that’s a nice contrast to the sweet potato.
