Bacon Ranch Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Bacon Ranch Stuffed Sweet Potatoes brings together the best flavors for the ultimate fall comfort food. An easy to make Paleo and Whole30 friendly dinner.
Bacon + ranch + sweet potatoes = the ultimate fall comfort food. Hands down this is one of the best dishes you’ll make this fall. The flavors from all three ingredients mix together so well. The sweetness from the sweet potato, smoky flavor from the bacon, and the garlic/dill flavor from the ranch. Add this as a side dish to any meal to make it simply amazing.
Bacon Ranch Stuffed Sweet Potatoes is a simple recipe to make. Pop the sweet potato in the oven for 30-35 minutes. While it’s baking, cook the bacon, cut the avocado, and whisk together the homemade ranch. I use my Whole30 Ranch Dressing recipe so I know it’s Whole30 approved and only clean ingredients. Pull the sweet potatoes from the oven, cut them lengthwise, fluff the insides with a fork, and then sprinkle on the bacon, avocado, and ranch dressing. So simple!!
We love serving these Bacon Ranch Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with baked chicken, meatballs, or my all-time favorite Whole30 Chicken Ranch Poppers. Making for a nice balanced meal. I’m always pushing for enough protein in every single meal, so serving these stuffed sweet potatoes with some lean protein is my favorite way to serve them.
