Baked Sweet Potatoes With Spicy Tofu Filling
10 April, 2018
Grabbing a quick and healthy snack can be a challenge if you have turned vegan recently. But stocking the fridge/pantry with vegan ingredients and a little pre-preparation can help one tide over this problem. Sweet potato is one much ingredient that can be a vegan's best friend. Plus it is a low GI food which means that it helps you feel full for a longer period of time.

- Cut each sweet potato into two halves along the length. Rub a little oil all over them.
- Pre-heat an oven to 200 Degrees C. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking tray and sprinkle some salt over them. Bake for about 15-18 mins.
- Remove from the oven and scoop out some of the flesh from the middle of the sweet potatoes.

- Spoon this mixture into the hollows of the sweet potatoes.

Notes
- One can partially bake the sweet potatoes and store them in the refrigerator for 2 days.
