Ingredients:

  • 2 sweet potatoes

  • 3.5oz tempeh

  • 7oz cannellini beans

  • 2 small onions

  • 1 clove of garlic

  • 3.5oz frozen kale

  • 1 1/2cup crushed tomatoes

  • 2tbs tomato paste

  • 2tbs grape-seed oil

  • 1/3tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

  • 1tbs hemp seeds

  • 1tbs nutritional yeast

Method 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F

  2. Wash and scrub your sweet potatoes, then pat dry and place onto a lined baking tray. Using a fork, poke a few holes in the sweet potatoes and bake for 60 minutes, or until soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.

  3. Grate the tempeh and peel and dice the onions.

  4. Heat the grape-seed oil on medium heat in a pan, and sauté onion and tempeh for 5 minutes

  5. Season with salt and red pepper flakes, then press 1 clove of garlic into the pan and add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, cannellini beans, and kale. Continue to cook for a few minutes, stirring regularly.

  6. After 60 minutes, the potatoes should be ready. Be sure to check them with a knife (if the knife goes in softly, they are cooked). If they’re still a bit hard, bake them for a further 10 minutes.

  7. Finally, slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise and load them with the filling from the pan. Sprinkle with hemp seeds and nutritional yeast, and enjoy!
