  • Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  • Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until completely baked.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • When cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the orange flesh and place it in a large bowl. Reserve the sweet potato skins.
  • Mash the sweet potato flesh, adding the orange juice, cinnamon, sea salt and raw sugar. Stir in the chopped prunes.
  • Fill the empty sweet potato skins with this mixture and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, until they are golden on top. Serve garnished with thinly sliced green onion before serving, if desired.
