Friday Food: Sweet N' Spicy PeppTater Boat

This recipe looks fantastic and we are glad we found it through a colleague of ours at FitRiss Studios.   the combination of peppers, potatoes and onions sounds really good and especially because you can take your time in getting this one put together and eat when you are ready.  Check it out.

Ingredients:

• 1 red, grey, or yellow bell pepper, halved and unseeded.
• 1 whole sweet potato
• 1 white onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Dah of Garlic Salt, Pepper and Cayenne Pepper

The Game Plan

1. Add an inch of water and 1 tbsp of olive oil to the bottom of the crock pot
2. After washing sweet potato and piercing it several times with a sharp knife, placed it in the crock pot.  Leave on medium heat for 6-7 hours, or high heat for 4-5 hours.
3. After placing sweet potato in crock pot, line backing sheet with tin foil.
4. Grab each half of the bell pepper and drizzle each with olive oil.  Add spices and refrigerate on a baking sheet lined with tin foil.
5. Head out for the day and let it cook.
6. Upon arrival home, preheat oven to 400 degF and place bell pepper halves into oven.  Bake for 25-30 minutes (or until you see some wrinkles start to form in the pepper).
7. Cut open and scope out the sweet potato into a serving dish. Mash up.
8. Scoop half the mashed sweet potato out of the bowl and add it to each bell pepper boat.
9. The onion should still be in the crock pot at this time, half the onion batch with a spatula and add to the top of the mashed potatoes.
10. Enjoy.
