This recipe is for those busy weeknights when you don’t feel like cooking but want something healthy and simple. It’s a no-fuss recipe and impossible to mess up.
It features one of my favorite root vegetables: sweet potatoes. I can’t get enough of this nutrient-dense veggie. Sweet potatoes are full of vitamins B6, C, and D. Plus, they’re a good source of iron, magnesium, and potassium.

Mealtime during the week doesn’t need to be stressful or result in the drive-thru. I’m all about quick, easy meals because I don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen either. That’s why I’m so excited to share this recipe with you. I know the struggle of wanting healthy food on the table each night that your whole family will love.
These loaded sweet potatoes are a huge hit in our house and a favorite among my clients. They’re packed with flavor and so easy to whip up. The sweet potatoes have a nice sweet/mildly spicy flavor — it will be hard not to eat the whole pan. Trust me, they’re that good. Top with ground beef, bell peppers, tomatoes, avocado, and green onions for an easy + simple + delicious meal.
