For a vegan option, substitute the butter with a high-quality olive oil or a vegan butter alternative. If you're not a fan of raw red onion, try briefly pickling it in lime juice for a milder flavor. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices in the avocado mixture. Cumin, chili powder, or a squeeze of lime juice would all be delicious additions. Celery can be used as a substitute.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Make a long, narrow cut lengthwise down the center of each sweet potato. Wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil. (10 minutes)
03
Step
1 hrs
Bake potatoes directly on the rack of the preheated oven until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour.
04
Step
45 mins
While potatoes bake, mash avocado flesh, salt, and pepper together in a bowl with a fork until mostly smooth. Gently fold in the diced red onion. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, about 45 minutes.
05
StepOnce potatoes are cooked, remove them from the foil and slice open, gently squeezing the ends to create a wider opening. Divide half of the butter between the potato openings, allowing it to melt slightly. Spoon the chilled avocado mixture generously into each potato and top with the remaining butter.
