Loaded Vegan Sweet Potato with Tempeh Bacon and Vegan Cheese Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces tempeh, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 2 hours
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush the tempeh slices with the mixture and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tempeh slices and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until crispy. Drizzle with soy sauce and maple syrup, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork. Top each sweet potato with the tempeh bacon and drizzle with the vegan cheese sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
