Baked Sweet Potatoes with Caramelized Onions and Peppers

1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Scrub and dry the sweet potatoes, prick them several times with a fork, and set them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until they are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
2

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper; cook and stir until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low, then continue to cook and stir until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 20 to 30 minutes more.
3

Split open the baked sweet potatoes and top with the onion mixture, salt, pepper, and a dollop of sour cream.
