FAQs
Is a loaded sweet potato healthier than a loaded baked potato?
It depends on your priorities. While sweet potatoes generally have more vitamins and fiber than regular potatoes, the added sugar and toppings in a loaded sweet potato can significantly increase its calorie and sugar content compared to a moderately loaded baked potato.
What can I use instead of marshmallows on a loaded baked sweet potato?
Marshmallows are a classic topping, but there are many delicious alternatives:
- Chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds)
- Dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, chopped dates)
- Crumbled feta cheese and a drizzle of honey
- A dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of granola
Can I make a loaded sweet potato in the air fryer?
Yes! Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce the sweet potato with a fork. Cook for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until tender. Top with your favorite ingredients.
Is the skin of a sweet potato edible?
Yes! The skin of a sweet potato is packed with nutrients and perfectly safe to eat. Just make sure to wash it thoroughly before cooking.
