Ingredients

2 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (½-inch)
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
1 ¼ cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
4 scallions, thinly sliced, divided
3 slices cooked bacon, chopped
½ cup sour cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Arrange sweet potatoes in an even layer in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake, stirring occasionally, until tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
When the sweet potatoes are tender, stir in 1 cup cheese and half the scallions. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake until hot and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with bacon. Dollop sour cream evenly over the top and sprinkle with the remaining scallions.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
