Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, avocado, salsa, shredded cheese, black beans, fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Works in any NYC apartment oven or air fryer.
  • Wash sweet potatoes, halve lengthwise, and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin layer for structure.
  • Brush skins with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, skin-side up, and bake for 15–20 minutes until crispy.
  • Fill with toppings of your choice (e.g., black beans and salsa for a Latin twist). Bake for 2–3 more minutes if using cheese.
  • Enjoy hot, or pack for a grab-and-go snack.
