Vegan stuffed sweet potatoes are a delicious and hearty meal that's perfect for dinner or lunch. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with creamy avocado, tangy Greek yogurt, and aromatic spices for a dish that's both satisfying and nutritious.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water.
- Pierce each sweet potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth.
- Add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and basil to the mashed avocado, and mix well to combine.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Make a lengthwise slit down the center of each sweet potato, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Gently push the ends towards the center to open up the sweet potatoes a bit more, creating a space for the filling.
- Divide the mashed avocado mixture evenly between the two sweet potatoes, spooning it into the center of each one.
- Top each stuffed sweet potato with a dollop of vegan Greek yogurt.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stuffed sweet potatoes for a bit of crunch and extra flavor.
- Serve the vegan stuffed sweet potatoes immediately, while still warm.
Tips:
- When selecting sweet potatoes, choose ones that are firm and free of blemishes for the best texture and flavor.
- To make sure the sweet potatoes cook evenly, try to select sweet potatoes of similar size.
- If you prefer your dish to be completely vegan, use a dairy-free yogurt alternative instead of Greek yogurt.
- The avocado mixture can be prepared while the sweet potatoes are baking to save time.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder based on your spice preference.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra pop of freshness and color.
Vegan stuffed sweet potatoes are both easy to prepare and bursting with flavor, making them a great addition to your meal rotation. With the perfect blend of textures and tastes, they're sure to become a favorite. Pair them with a fresh salad or veggies for a complete and nutritious meal.
