Serves: 4 (full potato) or 8 (1/2 potato)
Ingredients
- 4 small/medium sweet potatoes
- Coconut oil + sea salt to coat the sweet potatoes
- 1 large white onion, sliced thinly
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or ghee
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 yellow pepper, finely diced
- 1.5 cups raw spinach, chopped
- 4 tbsp full fat coconut milk
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tbsp dijon mustard
- ¼ tsp paprika
- Black pepper to taste
- Optional: Sprinkle of gluten-free panko bread crumbs, chopped nuts, or crushed healthy crackers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash + dry your potatoes, spray with coconut oil and sprinkle sea salt. Lastly, poke each potato with a fork or knife a few times to release steam.
- Bake potatoes for 1 hour or until soft on the inside.
- When there are 15 minutes left on the potatoes, sauté the veggies. Add avocado oil to a heated pan and cook onions + garlic for about 10 minutes on medium low heat until browned and soft.
- Add in peppers and mix. Turn down the heat and cook for another 5-7 minutes with the pan covered. Stir occasionally.
- Add in the chopped spinach and mix. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until wilted.
- Once potatoes have baked and are cool enough to handle, cut each one in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the inside using a spoon. Make sure to leave a thin layer of potato to avoid breaking the skin.
- Place sweet potato insides in a mixing bowl and mash. Then add in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika + black pepper until smooth. Add in the sautéed veggies and mix again until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins and sprinkle with healthy bread crumbs. Bake again (at 400 degrees) for another 15-20 minutes until toasty.
- Serves 8 as a side dish or 4 as a meal. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week and reheat in the oven. Enjoy!
