Ingredients

4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
4 tbsp butter cubed
1 tbsp chervil chopped
4 tsp Greek yogurt
2 small red onions thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
With a fork, poke holes into the sweet potatoes and top each with a cube of butter.
Bake for 30 minutes or until soft inside. Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate.
Let the cooked sweet potatoes cool down. Make a small cut in the top of each.
Top each potato with a dollop of Greek yogurt and garnish with the chopped chervil. Enjoy!

Notes

Chervil is an aromatic herb. While it belongs to the parsley family, it is not actually parsley. It has a taste not unlike licorice or anise and is used as a finishing herb (i.e., added just before serving) so it doesn't lose its flavor.
