Loaded Vegan Sweet Potato with Coconut Bacon and Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup of coconut bacon
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the roasted vegetables. Cut the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces and place them on a separate baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- In a skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the coconut bacon and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice each sweet potato lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
- To assemble, top each sweet potato with the roasted vegetables and coconut bacon. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
- Enjoy your loaded vegan sweet potato with coconut bacon and roasted vegetables!
