Roasting Potatoes: Easy Plant-Based Weekend Meal Prep
Roasting sweet potatoes during weekend meal prep is an easy way to ensure healthy, plant-based meals during the week. First, scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt from their skins. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment or a baking mat. Spread the sweet potatoes onto the baking sheet and roast at 400F for 65-70 minutes, until a knife easily glides in and out.
You can use these roasted sweet potatoes for anything! Stuff them with this Super Green Stuffing. Or, use them for a Southwestern Stuffed Potato, Green Goddess Quinoa Potatoes, or simply enjoy on their own. One of my favorite go-to snacks is a sweet potato topped with a big spoonful of hummus.

Chef Katie’s Plant-Based Cooking Tips:
Microwave vs. Oven: Roasting the sweet potatoes in the oven gives you the sweetest potatoes. Plus, it retains their moisture. However, if you don’t have time, you can also cook sweet potatoes in the microwave. You can choose the “Potato” setting. Or, cook for 2 minutes, rotate, another 2 minutes, rotate, etc. until the potatoes are tender.
Nutritional Yeast: Nutritional Yeast adds cheesy, umami flavor to many vegan recipes. Use it sauces, soups, stews, dressing, mashed potatoes, and stuffed sweet potatoes. Besides great flavor, it has healthy protein and essential vitamins like B-12.
Other Super Green Ideas: Mix and match with other super green ingredients! You can use frozen broccoli, baby spinach, steamed kale, green beans, or snap peas. Add other fresh herbs like basil, thyme, and parsley
Super green flavors come together with peas, Brussels Sprouts, chives and nutritional yeast 
Saute the Brussels Sprouts until starting to brown around the edges. This brings out their natural sweetness. 
Add the sweet potato flesh to the pan with the peas and chives to bring the Super Green filling together
