A nourishing, satisfying meal everyone will love
Loaded baked potatoes are one of those classic recipes that people keep coming back to because they are well loved & super easy to make.
With these Loaded Baked Sweet Potatoes, I added a little twist to the classic recipe by keeping it plant based, and using sweet potatoes as the base. Regular old white potatoes would work well here too, but I love the flavour of sweet potatoes.
This recipe helps to up your fibre intake with all the veggies packed into a convenient package. The addition of the black beans helps to keep this recipe plant based while providing a great protein source, as well as lots of fibre.

Loaded Baked Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes, cut lengthwise
- drizzle of avocado oil or cooking oil of choice
- pinch salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 a yellow onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 (19 oz) can black beans, strained and rinsed
- 1/2 tsp each of chili powder and paprika
- 1/4 tsp cumin
Suggested Toppings

- crumbled feta cheese
- whipped feta dip Recipe on the blog
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice both sweet potatoes and poke a few holes in the skin using a fork.
- Drizzle a little oil over the potatoes and brush over the skin and cut side. Season the cut side with a pinch of salt and place the cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 30- 40 minutes until fork tender, depending on how large your potatoes are.
- While the potatoes are baking, heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add a drizzle of oil into the pan once hot and add the garlic, onion, black beans and the spices. Saute for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are softened, remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the potatoes are finished, use a spoon to make little wells in the middle to make room for the filling. Add the scooped out sweet potato to the black bean mixture and mix well.
- Add the black bean mixture until the wells of each sweet potato. Top with any toppings of choice as suggested above. Enjoy!
