Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onions
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup bell peppers chopped
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup cooked black beans
  • 2 tablespoons vegan coconut yogurt or vegan Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup vegan mozzarella cheese shreds + 1/4 cup for topping
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 jalapeño finely chopped
  • 1/2 lime
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the Sweet Potatoes:
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Prepare the Filling:

  • While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, garlic, bell peppers, and diced tomatoes. Cook until slightly tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Scoop out the flesh from the sweet potatoes, leaving a thin layer of sweet potato inside. Add the scooped-out flesh to a bowl with the cooked onions, garlic, bell peppers, diced tomatoes, black beans, coconut yogurt, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, and jalapeño. Stir together and set aside.

Crisp the Sweet Potato Skins:

  • Rub the bottoms of the sweet potato skins with the remaining olive oil. Place them bottom-up on a baking sheet and bake for another 5-10 minutes until crispy.

Fill the Sweet Potato Skins:

  • Remove the sweet potato skins from the oven and fill them with the sweet potato mixture.

Bake with Cheese:

  • Top evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Serve:

  • Remove from the oven and top with coconut bacon (if using). Serve with coconut yogurt or vegan Greek yogurt and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the sweet potatoes are fully cooked and tender before scooping out the flesh.
  • You can adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a spicier version, add more jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
