Scale
Ingredients
1 sweet potato
1/2 cup (80 g) lentils, cooked
1/2 cup (80 g) black beans, cooked
1/4 cup (40 g) brown rice, cooked
1/4 of a medium head of broccoli, baked, better if cut small
1.5 carrot, baked
green onions
SAUCE
2 Tablespoons peanut butter, smooth
1/2 lime, juiced
1 Tablespoon water
1 teaspoon coconut amino
1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/16 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Cut the sweet potato in half lengthways. Place it face down in a baking tray and bake at ºF (180ºC) for 25 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the sauce by placing all the ingredients in a jar with a lid and whisking until the ingredients are incorporated. If needed, thin it out by adding more water.
- Flip the sweet potato and bake for 20 more minutes or until soft so that a fork can go through easily.
- In a medium-big bowl, add the lentils, black beans, rice, broccoli, carrots, and 1 Tablespoon of the sauce. Mix well.
- Take the potato out of the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Poking the surface of the potato with a fork will speed up the cooling process.
- Scoop out the potato flesh into a plate and mash it with a fork.
- Add it to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
- Fill the potato skins with the mixture and place them back in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Serve with some more sauce on top and chopped green onions.
