Favorite Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

I updated one of my favorite recipes with a video + some more pics! Make my Favorite Stuffed Sweet Potatoes tonight!

I was feeling like a super easy comfort food recipe today, so I whipped these cuties up. About an hour of baking time for the potatoes then the rest takes about five minutes. So easy!

These sweet potatoes are my favorite, with their golden flesh all stuffed with salty, garlicky hummus and topped with buttery avocado and perky red onion and smoky, spicy spices. Make a platter of these for your dinner or serve them to your family as a side dish. Load them up even more with hemp seeds, chopped nuts, shiitake bacon, tempeh bacon or skillet chickpeas.

Hope you love this easy go-to recipe for Favorite Loaded Baked Sweet Potatoes.

Plus, I have updated this post with a few new photos and a recipe video!..

Grab a fork and a few lucky friends to share these beauties with..

It all starts with toasty-warm oven-baked potatoes, mashed a bit, all sticky and sweet..

Yup, still love these! This was my second photoshoot for these potatoes and they always impress visually and taste-wise! They are super flavorful and colorful. Irresistible for a sweet potato lover like me.

First photoshoot.. Loved so much I had to update with a video.

VIDEO: Watch me make these!.. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel to stay in touch!)

I love these with a garlic hummus. But I have always loved using a spicy hummus.

Tomatoes, olives, capers, sauerkraut, tempeh bacon.. what else can you think to top these beauties with?

A squeeze of lemon or lime juice is another optional touch.

These potatoes are packed with fiber, vitamin A, potassium, healthy fats, iron, vitamin C and loads of healthy phytochemicals.

For the hummus, you can absolutely just use a store bought brand for ease. I actually used a brand called Cava from Whole Foods.

But if you do have time and energy to whip up DIY hummus here are a few recipes..

* Classic Restaurant Style Hummus
* Sweet Potato Hummus (for a double dose!)
* Super simply 3-2-1 Hummus

As for me, you will find me devouring these jems followed by a tall mug of hot cocoa with vegan whip on top. Netflix-ing and chilling, as you do this time of year. What are we watching right now? I somehow got my husband OK-ing us rewatching Grey's Anatomy from the beginning. Score. I think he just likes watching to make fun of all the drama but oh well. We are up to season 7 and I have to say I do love this show despite it's strange love of ghost characters and over the top drama and more. What are YOU Netflixing this time of year?
