Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

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!
