Ingredients:

4 sweet potatos
1000g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 tbsp salsa sauce
30g
2 tbsp onion
20g
2 tbsp peanuts
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Scrub the sweet potatoes clean under running water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
2. Bake the Sweet Potatoes:
- Prick the sweet potatoes several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Rub each sweet potato with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking tray lined with baking paper or directly on the oven rack. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
3. Make the Chilli Butter:
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the chilli butter. In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, salsa sauce, finely chopped onion, and roughly chopped peanuts.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set the mixture aside at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Assemble the Dish:
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully cut a lengthwise slit in the top of each potato. Using a fork, fluff up the flesh inside the potato slightly.
5. Serve:
- Spoon a generous amount of the chilli butter mixture into the opening of each sweet potato. Allow the butter to melt and seep into the potato.
- Optionally, garnish with extra chopped peanuts and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve the kumara jackets immediately while they are still warm and the butter is melting.

Tips:

- Choose sweet potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking.

- Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking to help them cook more evenly and prevent them from bursting.

- For a spicier kick, consider adding more salsa sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chilli butter.

- If you have dietary restrictions, you can substitute regular butter with a dairy-free alternative or use another type of nut butter.

With their rich and unique flavor, kumara jackets with chilli butter are an exciting addition to any meal. They're simple to prepare and versatile enough for various serving occasions. By following these tips and steps, you can create a dish that's both delicious and packed with nutrients. Enjoy the combination of sweet and spicy in every bite!
