INSTRUCTIONS:
vegan stuffed coconut sweet potatoes
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes.
Using a sharp knife, poke 2 to 3 times on each side of the potato.
Rub the potatoes with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
Place on a foil (or parchment paper) lined baking sheet. The potatoes may ooze some sticky, sugary liquid so this makes for easy clean up.
Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife can easily poke through the potatoes.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Cut the top 1/4 off the potato. Scoop out the sweet potato flesh leaving about a 1/4 inch in the potato skin. Place the flesh in a bowl.
Add the coconut cream, kosher salt and pepper.
Stir or mash to combine.
Fill the potato skins with the mashed potato.
Serve immediately.
