Ingredients

For the sweet potatoes

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 1.5 kg)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
     

For the filling

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 5–6 medium mushrooms, finely chopped
  • ½ red sweet pepper, finely chopped
  • ½ orange sweet pepper, finely chopped
  • ½ cup cooked corn, drained
  • ½ cup coconut cream
  • 3 cups grated vegan cheese
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ⅓ teaspoon black pepper
  • 5–6 sprigs fresh thyme (leaves only)
Method
  1.  Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, pat them dry, prick them with a fork, and place them whole (with the skin on) in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until tender.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling:
  5. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil and add the onion. Sauté until it becomes glossy and begins to brown. Add the mushrooms and sprinkle with a little salt to help them release their liquid faster. Then add the peppers and corn, stir, and let the vegetables soften slightly.
  6. Pour in the coconut cream, half of the vegan cheese, the salt, and the black pepper. Stir well, then add the thyme leaves. Mix again and remove from the heat.
  7. Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly so you can handle them. Cut them in half lengthwise and gently press to open. Scoop out a bit of the flesh and add it to the filling. Mix well.
  8. Stuff the sweet potatoes generously with the filling, pressing lightly with a spoon. Sprinkle with the remaining vegan cheese and bake in the preheated oven for another 30 minutes.
  9. Serve warm.
  10. The recipe keeps beautifully for the next day — just reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 10 minutes, and they’ll taste freshly baked!
