Step 1

Pierce several holes all around the outside of each sweet potato with a fork or sharp knife. This will allow steam to escape from the potato while cooking.

Step 2

Place one potato on a microwave safe plate, loosely cover with a paper towel, and cook for 5 minutes, until easily pierced with a fork. If you have larger potatoes, they may need additional time. Microwave in extra 1 minute increments until soft. Repeat for each additional sweet potato.

Step 3

Slice open the top of each potato and fluff up the insides with a fork.

Step 4

Top each cooked potato with a scoop of cinnamon apples, 1 tablespoon almond butter, a few chopped pecans, 1 teaspoon hemp hearts, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup, if using.
