| POINTS® Value: 2 Servings: 8 Preparation Time: 3 min Cooking Time: 40 min Level of Difficulty: Easy | Baking the sweet potatoes concentrates their natural sweetness. Couple that with naturally sweet pineapple and you've got a delicious, 2-ingredient Thanksgiving side dish. | Ingredients - 4 large sweet potato(es), washed and dried
- 15 1/4 oz canned pineapple, packed in juice, crushed, drained
Instructions - Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Place potatoes directly on middle rack of oven. Bake, checking for doneness by either gently squeezing potatoes or pricking them with a fork to see if they’re really soft, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and cool for 5 minutes more.
- Scrape potato flesh from skin into a large bowl. Add drained pineapple chunks and mash with a potato masher or spoon until pineapple has broken down slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
