1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2

Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Prick each potato with a knife, then drizzle with olive oil and rub to coat. Space the sweet potatoes evenly on the baking sheet.
3

Bake in the preheated oven until completely tender, about 35 minutes.
4

Meanwhile, add the bacon to a pan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the bacon starts to get crispy and the fat turns foamy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the green onions and jalapeño; cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
5

Let the sweet potatoes cool until safe to handle. Leave the oven on. Cut off the top 1/3 of each potato, holding the knife at a 45-degree angle. Scoop out the sweet potato flesh from both the top and bottom halves, leaving at least 1/4 inch of flesh in the bottoms to make the shells.
6

Season the sweet potato flesh with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add cheese, creme fraiche, and lime juice. Mash with a potato masher. Add the bacon mixture and mix until combined. Spoon the filling into the sweet potato shells. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tops.
7

Bake until heated through and the tops have started to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
