Sweet Potato Facts
Stuffed baked potatoes have been a thing for a long time, but we prefer to use sweet potatoes instead because they offer way more health benefits. For example, sweet potatoes are higher in Vitamins E, C, and B6. Plus, they have a lot of potassium and iron, making for a really balanced and fulfilling meal.
How to Make Sweet Potatoes Loaded with Minced Beef
- Heat up some sunflower oil (or a healthy oil of your choice) in a pan. Add ½ chopped onion and 1 crushed garlic clove to the heated oil and cook them until they are soft and golden-brown. Then, add 250g of minced beef with salt and pepper and cook until the beef is browned.
- Add 1-2 Tbsp of tomato puree to the cooked beef and stir. Sweeten with a drop of lemon juice, salt to taste, pepper to taste and a pinch of oregano. Cook on low heat for about 10-12 minutes. You can also add any other seasoning of your choice.
3. Boil 5-7 sweet potatoes until soft and cooked through. Pat dry.
4. Mash one whole avocado and season with salt and pepper (or make your guac however you like it!).
5. Cut the sweet potatoes in half and stuff them with the other ingredients. Top with the guac and sour cream, and enjoy!
Best Veggies to Complement it With
Serve your stuffed sweet potatoes with some leafy green veggies that can add balance and nutrition to your meal. Our favorites include broccoli, spinach, and artichoke, as the earthy green flavors go really well with the richness of the sweet potatoes.
If you prefer to make a vegan version of this recipe, you can replace the minced beef with soy beef or a protein-rich alternative like black beans. Add a side of rice or garbanzo beans for a full range of tastes and nutritional benefits!
