This recipe is great for those trying to mix it up with the elimination diet, or those just wanting to try something different. This recipe was adapted from a recipe I found in the cook book “Paleo takes 5 or fewer” by Cindy Sexton, but modified to be elimination diet – friendly. Let me know what you think!
Ingredients:
- 6 Large Sweet Potatoes
- ½ Large Red Onion cut into small pieces
- Approximately 100g of finely cut mushrooms (if your elimination diet is able to have this)
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- Olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 3 green onions finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Parsley
- 1 tsp Basil
- 1 tsp Oregano
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Cut sweet potatoes in half length – wise and place face down on a baking sheet that is lined with aluminum foil.
- Take some olive oil and lightly brush the flesh side of the potatoes. Sprinkle some sea salt on eat potato and puncture the flesh side of the potatoes in multiple places along the surface (i.e. stab the potato with a knife in multiple places – just a small depth).
- Bake in oven for 35-45 minutes.
- Add the red onion and mushrooms to a frying pan, starting it on low heat and gradually increasing to medium heat. Cook for approximately 10 minutes or until softened. Mince the garlic and add to the mixture, stirring for another 3-5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Once the potatoes are baked, gently scoop the insides of the potato and add it to a bowl with the red onion mixture. Combine the ingredients, and add the green onion, parsley, oregano, and basil. Mix well.
- Add the final mixture to the sweet potatoes skins and place back on the baking sheet. Broil for 5 minutes on low. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
