Let’s Eat! | The Perfect Sweet Potato

July 30, 2013 by Margaret Leave a Comment

So I absolutely love sweet potatoes, well all potatoes in general actually haha but with sweet potatoes I like slices/chips the best. I’m not much on baking it and eating it like a normal baked potato. So, my biggest issue with doing chips is I have to cut them all, grease them all, line a baking sheet without them touching and they bake forever! So I needed a way that gave me the same pieces but didn’t take forever to prep and make a huge mess of dishes. That’s where this comes from! Keeping it all in one piece and you can break off slices as you eat πŸ™‚ love it!

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F
Line a baking pan with lightly greased foil
Rinse/scrub your potato, removing any dirt or spots or completely peel it
Using a sharp knife, cut very thin (1/8 inch) slits/cuts two-thirds of the way through your potato (Don’t cut all the way though!)
Bake for 50 minutes, checking to make sure it’s not burning
Take out and add vegan butter (I used Earth Balance), cheese or any other toppings (except chives, they’ll burn lol)
Be sure to get in-between each gap/slit
Bake for another 5 minutes, or until potato is soft and cheese is melted
Top with fresh green onions (optional)

Enjoy!

I absolutely love making this and serving it with my teriyaki glazed tofu! The combo of the two makes my taste buds and tummy oh so happy! So give it a go and tell me what you think πŸ™‚
If you’re on Instagram and happen to snap a photo of a recipe of mine recreated, I would love to see it and feature my favorites πŸ˜€ So use the hashtag #PlanstStrongVegan and tag me @PlantStrongVegan <3
