Vegetarian Baked Sweet Potato Recipe

Loaded baked sweet potatoes are so quick and easy to make, you can cook the potatoes in the microwave to make it quick, or use this oven recipe for baking sweet potates. A few of my other favorite sweet potato recipes are Italian-Style Stuffed Sweet Potatoes, Sloppy Joe Baked Sweet Potatoes, and Cheesy Baked Sweet Potato Skins.

This recipe is a guest post from The Picky Eater. I met Anjali in San Francisco a few years ago; she’s a sweet blogger who I instantly connected with, she is also a vegetarian and shared this delicious (yes, I tested this myself and now make it all the time) recipe with us, perfect for meatless Monday!

Hi Everyone! My name is Anjali Shah and I blog over at The Picky Eater, where I write about healthy recipes and easy-to-make family meals. I test all of my recipes on my “fast food loving husband,” who, prior to meeting me, ate a diet of frozen pizzas and Taco Bell, so any recipe that makes it on to my blog is “husband approved”!

One of my favorite things to do in the kitchen is to makeover comfort foods into healthy versions that taste amazing, are full of flavor and feel just like the original.

Today I’d like to share one of my favorite recipes – my Loaded Baked Potato Makeover. My healthy swaps include: sweet potatoes instead of russet, “loaded” toppings like black beans and veggies sautéed with spices, and a dollop of cream (which is my favorite swap – 0% Greek Yogurt for sour cream!) The husband usually can’t tell the difference, especially when I spice up the yogurt with some taco seasoning.

How To Make This Loaded Baked Sweet Potatoes Recipe

This meal is delicious and takes only 20 minutes to make, which is why I love making it after a long day at work – I know I’ll have something yummy in my stomach in the same amount of time it would take to pick up takeout. The husband loved it too, and it has since become a staple weeknight meal in our house. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
