Baked Sweet Potatoes with Spinach and Bacon

"Healthy" Sweet Potato Skins
Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 tsp EVOO
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bag baby spinach
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 slices turkey bacon (I used 4 slices regular - not so healthy!)
4 oz low-fat cream chese
1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp vegetable oil
2 tbs grated Parmesan cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Bake sweet potatoes on a baking sheet for 45 min or until fork-tender.

2. While potatoes cook, heat EVOO in a deep saute pan and cook onion 2-3 min until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 more min.

3. Add the whole bag of spinach and scallions, cover and cook 3-4 min, until spinach is wilted.

4. In another sauce pan, cook the bacon until crisp and transfer to a plate with paper towels until cooled. Chop into small pieces. *Note: I cooked the bacon in the microwave.

5. Let the potatoes cool 5 min. Carefully slice them in half and scoop insides into a bowl. Add cream cheese, buttermilk, s+p. Mash together.

6. Brush the outside of each skin with veggie oil. Fill each shell with filling and sprinkle with cheese. Cook 15-20 min until golden brown and crispy. Top with bacon bits.
