INGREDIENT NOTES:

SWEET POTATOES:

• These are the main vegetables that we will use in your recipe. We will bake them first and then bake them again with the filling in them. These will give you a creamy feeling after cooking as well. You will feel a sweet taste from these sweet potatoes, too. Another option can be white sweet potato.

CRANBERRIES:

• Cranberries are one of the core ingredients in this recipe. Here, these will give you a tar flavor, which will maintain the extra sweetness in your dish. You may use dry ones, which are unsweetened as well. You will soak them in warm water and use that for another option, too.

APPLE:

• Another important topping for this vegan recipe is apple. This will include a good texture in your potatoes and also give you a sweeter taste. Any firm apple, like Fuji, can be fine to use in your dish.

MAPLE SYRUP:

• This will include a sweet taste in your recipe. You may add coconut nectar for a different idea as well.

NUTMEG AND CINNAMON:

• For the warm flavor in your recipe, you will add these ingredients. These will boost the flavor of your filled sweet potatoes, too. An alternative for them can be adding pumpkin spice as well.

SALT:

• Salt is an ingredient that can easily improve the taste of your recipe. You may use less of it if you prefer.

WALNUTS:

• The final topping ingredient for your recipe is walnuts, which will give you healthy fats. You will get crunchier bites from adding them as well. Use pecans for a similar idea for substitution, too.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Warm the oven to 200°C & run the sweet potatoes under water to wash them.
2. Now, use a fork to make smaller holes in them and add them to the sheet.
3. Then bake them for 40 minutes to make them softer.
4. Next, cool them for some time and cut them in half vertically.
5. Take the middle part out till there is a thin layer with the outer skin & add it to a bowl.
6. Now add diced apples, cranberries, syrup, nutmeg, salt, cinnamon, and walnuts to the bowl too.
7. Combine these components, and then add this filling to the hollow sweet potatoes.
8. Then bake these again for 15 minutes to complete the recipe.

TIPS:

• Utilize more maple syrup if the flavor of your cranberries is tart.
• You will use a fork to gradually remove the center of the potato.
• Also, you may use a foil to cover your potatoes when you bake them for the first time.
• You can also toast your walnuts a little bit to boost the taste.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

• Use a tight box to store your potatoes for four days.

FREEZER:

• Only freeze your baked sweet potatoes in a freezer sealed dish for 60 days.

FAQs:
