Zucchini and Goat Cheese-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Bake or microwave the sweet potatoes until done but still firm. When cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out the inside of each potato half, leaving a sturdy shell, about 1/4 inch thick all around.

   Step 2

   Transfer the scooped-out potato to a mixing bowl and mash coarsely.

   Step 3

   Heat the margarine in a medium skillet. Add the zucchini and sauté, stirring frequently, until it is golden and tender. Add the scallions and sauté for another minute or so.

   Step 4

   Combine the zucchini mixture with the mashed sweet potato in the mixing bowl. Add the goat cheese and salt, and stir well to combine.

   Step 5

   Stuff the mixture back into the potato shells. Heat as needed in the microwave or in a preheated 400°F oven, and serve.
