- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Wash and dry 4 small/medium sweet potatoes. Take a fork and pierce holes all around potato to ensure the inside cooks well.
- Place pierced sweet potatoes on a lined cooking tray, and let cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 400°F. (Make sure to check your potatoes after 45 minutes and poke them with a fork to see if it goes through. If not, leave potatoes in for another 15-20 minutes).
- Prepare easy vegan black bean quinoa salad stuffing while sweet potatoes are cooking.
- Remove sweet potatoes from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting in half, lengthwise.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out some of the sweet potato and mix it in your quinoa salad. Do not completely remove all of the sweet potato inside; ensure there is a 1/2-1 inch layer of sweet potato.
- Place sweet potatoes back on the cooking tray, sprinkle with salt, and add spoonfuls of your black bean quinoa mixture on top.
- Top stuffed sweet potatoes with vegan cheese, and put back in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, put the oven on broil (500°F) for 1-2 minutes to make the cheese extra crispy. Watch them so they don’t burn!
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before enjoying.
- Drizzle with vegan spicy garlic aioli if desired!
