Different preferences? Picky eater? Gluten-free? No problem. Just set out all the fixin’s and everyone gets to build their own delicious plate just the way they like it! Which makes these make-it-how-you-like-it kind of meals perfect for when you have company coming for dinner.

I used my Vegan, Soy-Free Sour Cream recipe on these loaded sweet potatoes, but you could use this Healthy 5- Minute Vegan Cheese Sauce instead. Or you could use both!!

Ingredients

4 medium to large sweet potatoes
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced small
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans, drained
1/2 teaspoon salt - or to taste
1 medium fresh tomato, diced small
6 green onions, sliced
Jennifer's Kitchen Vegan Sour Cream - or purchased sour cream

Instructions

Scrub sweet potatoes, place on middle rack of oven and bake at 400°F for 45 minutes or until completely soft.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, sauté diced onions and peppers in oil over medium-low heat until onions begin to look translucent. (If you’re in a hurry, you can skip the sauteing and just load the sweet potato up with raw onions and garlic, but I prefer them sauteed.)
Add garlic and sauté for one additional minute.
Add beans and seasonings and cook until thoroughly heated.
Assemble sweet potatoes: Slice baked sweet potatoes lengthwise down the middle. Fill each sweet potato with 1/4 of the bean mixture. Top with tomatoes, green onions, and sour cream.
