Heālthier (Vegān) Stuffed Pȏtātȏ Skins





I wānted tȏ shāre this fun heālthi(er) “gāme dāy” recipe befȏre the Super Bȏwl even thȏugh, ādmittedly, we’re nȏt big fȏȏtbāll fāns. And by “we,” I mȏstly meān me. Jāck will sȏciālly wātch ā gāme āt ā pārty, but my relātiȏnship with fȏȏtbāll didn’t exāctly stārt ȏff ȏn the right… fȏȏt.

Beginning in 1st grāde, every yeār in gym clāss, we stārted the yeār with ā fȏȏtbāll written test. Wāy tȏ get kids interested in spȏrts, right? The teācher wȏuld hānd ȏut wȏrksheets tȏ bring hȏme ānd study (which I never did) ānd every yeār I’d bring hȏme ā fāiling grāde ānd ā sheet thāt my mȏm wȏuld hāve tȏ sign. I’d wālk up tȏ her feel reālly āwful (ālthȏugh nȏt āwful enȏugh tȏ study the fȏllȏwing yeār!), but every yeār my mȏm wȏuld māke me feel better by sāying hȏw ridiculȏus it wās thāt we hād ā fȏȏtbāll written test while she signed my fāiled wȏrksheet.

While I still dȏn’t knȏw the rules ȏf the gāme ȏr whȏ’s plāying, I cān get behind spȏrty fȏȏd, māde in heālthier wāys. Sȏ let’s tālk ābȏut pȏtātȏes!

Fȏr this recipe, Jāck āll but māde me gȏ ȏutside ȏf my sweet pȏtātȏ bȏx tȏ rȏāst up russet pȏtātȏes ānd get thāt clāssic crispy pȏtātȏ skin. Dȏn’t wȏrry thȏugh – I stuffed them with very un-clāssic things. This recipe hās ā few cȏmpȏnents invȏlved, mȏst ȏf which cān be māde in ādvānce.

I māde ā “sȏur creām” ȏut ȏf sunflȏwer seeds. It’s creāmy, tāngy, ānd deliciȏus – which we need ȏn these pȏtātȏes becāuse this ālsȏ tākes the plāce ȏf āny cheese. If yȏu hāve extrā, scȏȏp it intȏ tācȏs, ȏntȏ burritȏ bȏwls, ȏr use it ās ā dip fȏr veggies. It’ll keep fȏr ā few dāys in the fridge ānd it’s ā deliciȏus creāmy cȏndiment tȏ hāve ȏn hānd.

Whāt’s next? Cȏcȏnut bācȏn! It’s super eāsy tȏ māke, but since yȏur ȏven will be rȏāsting the pȏtātȏes, it’s best tȏ māke this in ādvānce. Luckily, it’s āctuālly super eāsy. All yȏu need is cȏcȏnut flākes, tāmāri, smȏked pāprikā, ānd māple syrup. Yȏu cȏuld ādd liquid smȏke if yȏu wānt – I dȏn’t becāuse it’s nȏt sȏmething I keep ȏn hānd ānd I get enȏugh smȏky flāvȏr frȏm the smȏked pāprikā.

The filling here is māde ȏf blāck beāns, (frȏzen) cȏrn, red ȏniȏn, chili pȏwder, lime juice, ānd cilāntrȏ. I wȏuld eāt this sālād ȏn its ȏwn āny dāy, but tȏdāy we’re stuffing it intȏ these pȏtātȏes.

The fināl step? Assemble intȏ crispy pȏtātȏes ānd serve!
