This recipe uses my Easy Crispy Baked Tofu with a garlicky pan-fried spinach for stuffing. Then drizzled with a creamy and citrusy tahini dressing. All-in-all it’s protein-packed and full of flavour. I absolutely love making this fuss-free recipe for dinner as a stand-alone dish, and Mr. Two Spoons loves it too.
So, let me tell you exactly how to make this vegan stuffed sweet potatoes recipe.
These vegan stuffed sweet potatoes are:
When you think of stuffed sweet potatoes you might not have considered this combo. In fact, stuffed sweet potato recipes typically feature a black bean medley. And I get it, that’s delicious too! Actually, my Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are a very popular recipe on the blog.
However, I encourage you to give this recipe combo a try too! It’s a delicious blend with the flavourful crispy tofu and garlicky pan-fried spinach. It’s so easy to male for a delicious and wholesome vegan meal.
Certainly, making these vegan stuffed sweet potatoes couldn’t be easier. Essentially you’re going to bake the tofu and sweet potatoes in the oven at the same time, and prepare the garlicky spinach and citrus tahini dressing while you wait.
I like to poke holes in my sweet potatoes going all the way around. This helps the heat to release from the inside of the potato, and will stop it from exploding open as it bakes. In addition, I also like to paint my sweet potatoes with a little bit of olive oil or avocado oil to get the skins nice and crispy. However, the recipe can easily be made oil-free without painting with oil.
For me, I love a crispy skin and the oil helps it to develop a gorgeous almost caramelized flavour.
Baking time really depends on the size of the sweet potato, but typically it can take anywhere from 40 minutes to 1 hour. So it’s good to get them in the oven as quickly as possible, and bake along with your tofu. I like to bake my sweet potatoes at 400F/200C.
