Move over, potato skins. This Sweet Potato Touchdown is a snap to make, requiring only a few simple ingredients.

The avocado adds heart-healthy unsaturated fat and fiber, and the sweet potatoes are loaded with beta-carotene, which is converted by the body to vitamin A to help boost immunity and promote a healthy complexion. Don’t forget to (clean and then) eat the skin—lots of feel-good action lurking inside.
