ingredients

6 medium sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
cooking spray
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 Tbsp. grated peeled fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander

3/4 cup water
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup better n’ peanut butter
1 packet equal
1/4 tsp. salt

directions

Preheat the oven to 375°. Pierce each potato with a fork, and bake at 375° for 1 hour or until tender. Cool potatoes slightly. Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the onion, ginger, and garlic, and cook for three minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, and pepper and cook for another minute. Add 3/4 cup water and the next 4 ingredients (through salt), stirring until smooth. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes or until thick. Split the potatoes lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, other side. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the sauce into each potato. Top each serving with 1 teaspoon of the cilantro.
