Skinny Baked Potato

Low calory and healthy take on the classic heavy butter, sour cream or cheese filled baked potato. And it is so easy to make! I use a sweet potato as it is loaded with great nutrients and I top it with cottage cheese, which is naturally low in calories and fat. This guilt-free edition of the classic side dish is full of flavour. I like mine with a simple lemon zest-parsley topping, but you can use a variety of healthy garnishes, such as finely diced bell pepper, scallions, onions, tomato or olives. Delicious and good for you, so indulge!
