Sweet Potato Boat with Arugula Walnuts & Goat Cheese

Elevate the humble sweet potato by topping with wilted arugula, walnuts and goat cheese. These are super quick to make when you have pre-cooked sweet potatoes. Adjust the recipe for the number of people you are serving. Includes nut free option. Surprisingly high in protein and potassium. So good!

Equipment

  • 1 Frying pan

Ingredients

  • 1 medium pre-cooked sweet potato *see below for my favorite cooking method
  • 1 cups arugula or spinach
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans pieces
  • 3 tbsp goat cheese

Instructions

  • Cut pre-cooked sweet potato in half.
  • Over medium heat, add a little oil to your frying pan. Add arugula, and nuts. Stir around with a wooden spoon allowing the greens to wilt.
  • Goat cheese can be added to the pan to lightly melt.
  • Top sweet potato with arugula, nut, goat cheese mixture.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Make 1 sweet potato per person. 
My favorite method for cooking sweet potato is using an Instant Pot. Simply add 1-4 (unpeeled) whole sweet potatoes to the basket. Add 1 cup of water and pressure cook on high for 12 minutes. The peel easily comes off with your fingers after cooking. 
Use pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for nut free.
