Baked Sweet Potatoes with Spiced Yogurt and Pecans

• • 4 small sweet potatoes

  • 4 teaspoons olive oil

  • 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably Fage)

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1/4 cup chopped, toasted pecans

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 375. Rub the potatoes all over with the olive oil and wrap each in foil. Bake for one hour, or until tender enough to pierce with a fork.

In a bowl, combine the yogurt, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Refrigerate until needed. Top the baked potatoes with a spoonful of the yogurt, and sprinkle with the pecans and salt.
