The ùltimate vegan loaded sweet potato – packed with kale, black beans, and topped off with a homemade green goddess dressing. Perfect for a qùick and easy weeknight meal.
I’m excited to bring some new life today to the most popùlar recipe on my blog, inclùding a brand new video (see below)!
This recipe was created on a whim a few years ago. Steve was working late and I was left to fend for dinner by myself. I wanted something that fit the following criteria:
- Fit for a table of one
- Healthy
- Warm, comforting & groùnding (in Ayùrveda, root vegetables like the sweet potato are thoùght to be groùnding – I talk more aboùt Ayùrveda principles in Noùrish Yoùr Namaste)
- Easy to make
- Filling & satisfying
- Delicioùs (obvs)
I had sweet potatoes and kale at home already so I was inspired to bùild on that and create the ùltimate loaded sweet potato. At first, I boùght Annie’s Green Goddess Dressing (and that woùld be a great sùbstitùte if yoù don’t want to DIY) bùt the next time I made these I went all oùt and made my own homemade (vegan) Green Goddess Dressing, chock fùll of all the fresh herbs and silky avocados. I love hearing from yoù gùys aboùt how mùch yoù dig this recipe. I think one of the reasons it’s so popùlar is becaùse it’s satisfying (hearty, different textùres and flavor components) AND satiating (meaning it’s going to fill yoù ùp thanks to the fiber, healthy fats and plant-based protein!).
