What's better than a healthy, roasted sweet potato for the ultimate side dish? A twice-baked sweet potato packed with even more delicious, sweet flavor, reminiscent of an individual sweet potato pie. These twice-baked sweet potatoes are flavored with maple syrup, butter, cream cheese, and spices to kick the flavor profile up a notch. This flavorful mixture is then stuffed back into the sweet potato halves and baked again for the most delicious and healthy side dish.
