  • Versatile - can be made for lunch or a light dinner.
  • Simple recipe - very little 'hands on' time to make this tasty recipe!

🍠 Ingredients

individually labelled ingredients to make cream cheese stuffed sweet potato including bell pepper, herbs and olive oil.

Make sure to check the recipe card below for the full list of ingredients and their quantities!

These cheese stuffed sweet potatoes need very few ingredients. You will need:

  • Sweet potatoes - they come in all different sizes, so pick how hungry you are! You may need to adjust cook time accordingly.
  • Cream cheese - I suggest using a brand with as few additives as possible.
  • Mixed fresh herbs - choose your favourite.
  • Bell pepper and zucchini - always delicious roasted as they get a nice sweetness.
  • Olive oil - to cook the vegetables.
  • Salt - to season.

📖 Swaps and variations

Choose the fresh herbs of your choice. I like parsley, mint and basil, but coriander and thyme are also lovely.

Use a vegan cream cheese. If it is suitable for you, and you would like a vegan option, then a vegan cream cheese should work well.

🔪 Step by step instructions

Making these cream cheese stuffed sweet potatoes is very simple, with just a few steps:

sweet potato and knife on a wooden chopping board labelled number one.
sweet potato, bell pepper and zucchini on a baking tray labelled number two.

Step 1

Wash and dry the potatoes, then pierce a few times with a sharp knife. Place on a lined baking tray and begin to bake them (image 1).

Step 2

Once the sweet potatoes have baked for around 15 minutes add the bell peppers and zucchini to the baking tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Cook for a further 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork tender (image 2).

Step 3

Add the cream cheese to a bowl and stir through the fresh herbs (reserve a little of the herbs to garnish).

Step 4

Once cooked, plate up the sweet potatoes and slice lengthways. Use a fork to 'fluff-up' the potato flesh. Add the cream cheese and vegetables. Sprinkle with a little extra fresh herbs and salt to taste.

💭 Recipe tips and notes

  • Adjust cooking time. If your sweet potatoes are on the larger size, they may need another 5-10 minutes in the oven.
  • I suggest choosing a cream cheese with as few additives as possible.
  • Dice the bell peppers and zucchini into bite-size pieces.
  • Choose the fresh herbs you like best!

  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Notes

  • Always pierce the sweet potatoes before baking.
  • Baking time for the sweet potatoes will depend upon the size of the potato. Check after 45 minutes by piercing into the middle with a fork or knife.

    I am an avid meat eater as it’s part of my dietary needs so I wasn’t completely sure I would feel complete without the meat. I was so wrong! The cream cheese and the fresh herbs were amazing! This was such a treat for me and so filling! I used zucchini and yellow peppers with tarragon, thyme, and chives. The best part? No symptoms! Thank you for another delicious meal!

    This was one of the first low histamine dinners we had tried. We used bell peppers and broccoli as our veggies. So simple and delicious! Had never thought of using cream cheese in a baked potato but now i don't think we will do it any other way!

Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
