For a richer flavor, try using ghee or coconut oil instead of olive oil. A sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary complements the sweetness of the potatoes and onions beautifully. If you don't have sour cream, plain Greek yogurt or even a drizzle of tahini works well. To make this vegan, skip the sour cream or use a vegan alternative.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
1 hrs
Scrub and dry the sweet potatoes. Prick each potato several times with a fork. Place onto a baking sheet and bake until easily pierced with a fork, about 50 minutes to 1 hour.
03
Step
5 mins
While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
04
Step
30 mins
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking and stirring, allowing the onions to caramelize and turn a deep golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes more. Be patient and stir frequently to prevent burning.
05
Step
0 mins
Once the sweet potatoes are tender, remove them from the oven. Split them open lengthwise and top generously with the caramelized onion and pepper mixture.
06
Step
0 mins
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Finish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
