You can use black beans or kidney beans like I did. On some days I prefer one over the other, it always depends on my mood and how well my pantry is stocked. Both are delicious though. Did you know that beans are very healthy? “They are high in minerals and fiber without the saturated fat found in some animal proteins. Eating beans as part of a heart healthy diet and lifestyle may help improve your blood cholesterol, a leading cause of heart disease.”
Easy recipe
These stuffed potato skins are also very easy to make. All you have to do is bake the potatoes in the oven, scoop out the flesh, fill them with the delicious bean mixture, add vegan cheese and that’s about it. If you are looking for an easy vegan dinner or lunch, this recipe is definitely for you!
These stuffed potato skins are:
Flavorful Healthy Hearty Plant-based Gluten-free Dairy-free Easy to make Comforting
Variation
The great thing about this recipe is that you can vary it as you like. You can prepare these stuffed potato skins with regular potatoes or you could also use sweet potatoes to make stuffed sweet potato skins. White (Japanese) sweet potatoes or orange sweet potatoes work well. Also, you can try out different spices, make the recipe hot with either hot sauce or chipotle peppers etc. It never gets boring! I love using scallions or fresh chives. Fresh cilantro is also a great choice but I don’t like using too much of it. After a while, it just tastes weird to me. Is it just me? While I type these sentences, I am about to reheat leftovers in the oven and go watch some TV. Because there is seriously nothing better than a yummy comfort meal and watching series, right?! If you make this healthy dish and maybe even take a photo of it, then I would love to see it. You can DM it to me on Instagram.
