Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes With Ham - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons diced onion
3 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
1 cup diced smoked ham
2/3 cup crushed pineapple, divided
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bake sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until softened, about 1 hour.
Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion and red bell pepper until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add ham, 1/2 the pineapple, and chipotle powder; saute over low heat until heated through, about 5 more minutes.
Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving a thin shell. Blend sweet potatoes in a blender or mash in a bowl with a potato masher. Stir the remaining pineapple, nutmeg, and cinnamon into mashed sweet potatoes.
Return mashed sweet potato mixture to the shells and top each with ham mixture.
