I love taking a recipe and adapting it in many different ways. With a baked sweet potato, the options are endless. I always have a few of these delicious orange beauties on hand as they keep for up to a month in a cool dark place. And these vegan stuffed sweet potatoes are a fabulous starting point for many tasty ways to serve sweet potatoes.

the ingredients

  • sweet potatoes
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • unsweetened coconut cream
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground pepper

how to make the perfect baked sweet potatoes

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Wash and dry the sweet potatoes.
  • Using a sharp knife, poke 2 to 3 times on each side of the potato.
  • Rub the potatoes with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Place on a foil (or parchment paper) lined baking sheet. The potatoes may ooze some sticky, sugary liquid which can be difficult to wash off the pan.
  • Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife can easily poke through the potatoes.

the steps for making vegan stuffed sweet potatoes

After baking the potatoes, slice the top 1/4 off the potato. Scoop out the inside of the sweet potato leaving about 1/2 inch of the flesh inside the peel. This helps the potatoes hold their shape. Place the orange flesh in a bowl.

Next add unsweetened coconut cream. This thick cream is what rises to the top of a can of coconut milk which is also sold separately. Mash the sweet potato flesh, unsweetened coconut cream along with kosher salt and pepper. This mashed sweet potato is the base for some deliciously awesome baked and stuffed sweet potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes.
  3. Using a sharp knife, poke 2 to 3 times on each side of the potato.
  4. Rub the potatoes with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.

  6. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife can easily poke through the potatoes.
  7. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

  9. Add the coconut cream, kosher salt and pepper.
  10. Stir or mash to combine.
  11. Fill the potato skins with the mashed potato.
  12. Serve immediately.
