Time for Asian spice! Sweet potatoes are stuffed with a healthy filling of broccoli, red chili paste, tamari, and sesame seeds for this plant-based recipe. This makes the perfect dish for weekend meal-prep. Satisfying and easy to make.
Preheat your oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper on a non-stick baking mat. Scrub the potatoes. Spread the sweet potatoes on the pan so that they aren’t touching. Roast for 60-75 minutes, until a knife easily glides in and out. Rotate the sweet potatoes after about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
When the potatoes are tender, remove from the oven. Let cool slightly.
To make the Spicy Asian Sesame Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Broccoli, Sesame Seeds, Red Chili Paste, and Tamari:
In a medium saute pan, combine the broccoli, red chili paste, tamari, and ½ cup of water. Cook over medium-high heat until the broccoli is hot. While the broccoli cooks, scoop out the flesh of the sweet potatoes.
Add the sweet potato flesh to the pan with the broccoli. Cook until hot, stirring often, about 3-4 minutes. Taste to adjust seasoning. Remove from heat.
Scoop the Asian Sesame Broccoli stuffing back into the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
