INGREDIENT NOTES:
SWEET POTATOES:
- These are the main ingredients in your meal. We bake sweet potatoes to make them soft and creamy. Also, they give a naturally sweet taste that maintains the savory flavor in your meal. You may utilize simple potatoes, but your recipe will be more plain.
VEGAN RICOTTA CHEESE:
- Vegan ricotta cheese is the second important component of your meal. It provides a creamy texture and a little taste in your recipe. Also, it binds your filling together. We may utilize mashed tofu with lemon juice and nutritional yeast instead.
SPINACH:
- We use spinach to give color and a mild flavor to your dish. Also, it mixes well with creamy ingredients. You may use kale or Swiss chard instead, but it will take longer to cook.
OLIVE OIL:
- It improves the taste of your meal and helps the garlic and spinach cook. You may use avocado oil or any neutral oil instead.
LEMON JUICE:
- Lemon juice gives brightness to your recipe and maintains the creaminess. Also, you may replace it with apple cider vinegar if you want.
HERBS:
- Herbs give your recipe a good aroma and make your drizzle look fresh. Also, they add a light flavor to your meal. You may use cilantro or dill as another option.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Warm your oven to 200°C, then wash and dry the sweet potatoes.
- Then pierce them using a fork and put them on your tray
- Bake them for 45 minutes so they get soft.
- Warm oil in your pan and toss garlic in it for 60 seconds.
- Also, add spinach and cook till it wilts, and place aside to cool down.
- Now mix vegan ricotta, cooked spinach, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Take your potatoes out and rest them to cool.
- Then open the potatoes by cutting them in half and mash the inside gently with a fork.
