Loaded Baked Sweet Potatoes!!! YUMM⠀
⠀
Or would you call this a Yam? I think it is actually a yam but it’s always confusing because at restaurants sweet potato fries come out orange 🤔 – so I just use the term interchangeably ⠀
⠀
This a hearty and filling meal and surprisingly easy to make!⠀
⠀
You can make big massive ones or a few mini ones depending on the size of sweet potatoes you get!⠀
⠀
Ingredients:⠀
⠀
-2 big sweet potatoes or yams (or 4-6 small ones)⠀
-big can chickpeas⠀
-4-6 mushrooms⠀
-1/2 white onion⠀
-zucchini⠀
-bell pepper⠀
-garlic⠀
-nutritional yeast⠀
-spices- chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt⠀⠀

To make follow these steps:

1) Preheat oven to 425°C

2) Poke 2 big sweet potatoes with a fork about 10 times all over

3) Pop in oven and bake for around an hour depending on size of your potatoes – mine were really big- it will take less time if yours are smaller

4) Cut up onion, mushrooms, peppers, garlic, and zucchini

5) Put onions and garlic into the pan and stir fry with a little bit of water on medium heat until soft (add more water as it evaporates)

6) Add in mushrooms, peppers. and zucchini

7) Drain and rinse 1 can of chickpeas and add into the veggie mixture

8) Add paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, to the veggie mix

9) In a small bowl combine, a dash of maple syrup, about 2 tablespoons tahini and 1/3 cup nutritional yeast, dash of chili powder, garlic powder, salt and a splash of water – mix until you have nice pourable sauce texture (add more water if needed) 

You can play around with the ratios till you get a consistency you like! 

10) Take sweet potatoes out of the oven when soft and cut a slit down the top and then use a fork to push open the sweet potato so you can put your veggie mixture on top

11) Add veggies on top and sauce and voila! Eat away!
