Ingredients:

1/2 cup broccoli
40g
1 red pepper
120g
4 potatoes
680g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/2 cup almond milk
120g
1/4 cup onion
18g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1.55g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare and Bake Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.
- Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
- Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
3. Prepare Veggie Filling:
- While the potatoes are baking, prepare the other vegetables.
- Chop the broccoli into small florets and dice the red pepper. Finely chop the onion.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
- Add the chopped broccoli and red pepper to the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Sauté the veggies for another 5-7 minutes until they are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Hollow Out Potatoes:
- Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle.
- Slice each potato in half lengthwise.
- Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the flesh of each potato, leaving a thin layer of potato still attached to the skin to form a “shell.”
- Place the scooped-out potato flesh into a large mixing bowl.
5. Make Potato Mixture:
- Mash the scooped-out potato flesh with a fork or potato masher.
- Add ½ cup almond milk, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the sautéed broccoli, red pepper, and onion into the mashed potato mixture.
6. Stuff and Bake Potatoes:
- Spoon the veggie and potato mixture back into the potato shells, dividing it evenly among all the potato halves.
- Place the stuffed potato halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
7. Serve:
- Remove the twice-baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious twice-baked veggie potatoes as a main dish or a hearty side!

Tips:

- Use evenly sized potatoes for uniform baking and easier handling.

- You can steam the broccoli beforehand to reduce the baking time.

- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of your favorite cheese before the second bake.

- Make sure to scoop out the potato carefully to avoid tearing the skin.

- Use a fork to fluff the potato insides before mixing to create a lighter texture.

- If you prefer spicier flavors, add a pinch of red chili flakes to the vegetable mix.
