Loaded Pumpkin Spice Sweet Potatoes

November 12, 2020November 12, 2020 by Azilde Elizabeth

I’ve been using pumpkin spice A LOT lately. Perfect excuse, because it’s fall. I had some leftover chicken and decided to make loaded pumpkin spice sweet potatoes. This meal is perfect to make with leftover thanksgiving turkey. I will definitely be making this again! Loaded sweet potatoes with everything fall. What else could you ask for? I only had a bit of chicken leftover and so I made my husband the one with chicken and I had the meatless one. They boys had resorted to russet potatoes. Honestly, I choose sweet potatoes over regular potatoes. Anything sweet is a YES.

Meat or Meatless

I made one sweet potato with chicken and one without. They were both super delicious. What makes this different from the classic loaded potato, is using a sweet potato and adding pumpkin spice. You get a punch of sweetness along with some saltiness from cheddar cheese. Adding pumpkin seeds adds a little crunch.

You will need:

Sweet potatoes
Cheddar cheese (optional)
Craisins
Pumpkin seeds
Leftover chicken (optional)
Pumpkin spice
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil

Healthy Meal

This meal is already healthy. I love cheese on everything, but you can omit the cheese and craisins and use cranberry sauce. Overall this meal is delicious with so many health benefits! And no butter added!

Thanksgiving Leftovers

I plan on making this for thanksgiving leftovers. Instead of using craisins, I will use cranberry sauce and turkey instead of chicken, with a side of stuffing. OMG my mouth is watering, while typing this! This is another meal idea for the day after thanksgiving meal ideas and the days after.
