Who is on the hunt for a delicious but simple vegan recipe for Valentines Day? We think these stuffed sweet potatoes are a great Valentines dinner option. This recipe is a little extra special made with our Black Lentils. These small and hearty lentils resemble caviar, and have a unique taste and texture. They are versatile with a dash of indulgence.
We also think this dish is perfect for a family meal. And to save time on a busy week night we microwave the sweet potatoes.
The fresh and bright flavors of this dish are delightful and also a truly filling. You can spice it up or keep in mild depending on your audience.
If you are running short on time, we also found that just mixing the cooked lentils with salsa is a great cheat. We hope you love this recipe as much as we do.
Wash potatoes, poke 3 or 4 times with a fork, rub with oil and bake for 50-60 minutes until tender.
While potatoes are baking, prepare lentils.
When lentils are cooked add, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt.
Simmer uncovered on medium-low for 5 minutes to develop flavors.
When potatoes are done, split them down the middle slightly mashing the inside. Fill with lentils. Top with cheese, guacamole, sour cream, lime juice or cilantro.
