- Saute for 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.
- Once sweet potatoes are cooked, slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a small layer so it can maintain its shape.

- Mix thoroughly to combine, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Scoop mixture back into the sweet potato skins and place them back into the 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.
- To make cashew lime crema, combine cashews, hot water and lime juice in a blender and blend on for about 3 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
- Drizzle crema on sweet potatoes and enjoy!
