I tend to favour baked sweet potatoes over regular potatoes nowadays, mainly because I find sweet potato doesn’t need lots of butter. Normally with crab I make some kind of crab cakes or pasta dish, but this time I fancied something a little different and stuffed a baked sweet potato, the result was delicious.
This recipe is gluten free, Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly
Slimming Eats Recipe
Extra Easy – 1 HEa per serving
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 100g of crab meat
- some chopped red pepper
- some chopped red onion
- ¼ cup of frozen corn
- pinch of black pepper
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of sumac (optional)
- ⅓ cup of 0% fat Greek Yoghurt or Quark
- 42g of reduced fat cheddar (1 HEa)
- olive oil spray
- chopped Coriander to serve
- Preheat oven to 200c or 400f (gas mark 6)
- Pierce sweet potato, wrap in foil and bake in oven until slightly soft.
- While sweet potato is baking, spray a frying pan over a medium high heat with olive oil spray and fry the onion and red pepper until softened. Remove and set aside.
- Once sweet potato is ready, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Slice in half lengthways and spoon out some of the flesh, leaving a thin layer so they keep their shape. Spray the sweet potato skins with low calorie spray and season with salt, place back in the oven for about 10-15 mins to crisp up a little.
- Add the spooned out flesh to a bowl with the onion, pepper, crab meat, corn, Greek yoghurt, sumac and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
- Spoon this into the sweet potato skins and top with the reduced fat cheddar, place back in the oven and bake until cheese is slightly golden and melted.
- Top with freshly chopped coriander.
