Ingredients

2 sweet potato skin on
25 g unsalted butter
1/2 cup parsley fresh
50 g spinach leaves only
1 clove garlic minced
50 g cheese shredded
2 tbs sour cream
2 tsp paprika

Pepita and Almond Crumble

20 g pepitas
20 g sunflower seeds
20 g almonds lightly crushed
1 tbs light soy sauce
1 tsp molasses
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 220C. Prepare two sheets of alfoil ready with a baking tray, and line a separate tray with baking paper.
Step 2

Score the potato in two spots with a sharp knife.
Step 3

Place a potato, half of the butter, half of the parsley, some of the minced garlic, half of the paprika onto one sheet of the alfoil and wrap up tightly.
Step 4

Repeat with the remaining potato, garlic, parsley, butter and paprika.
Step 5

Place both of the wrapped potatoes onto a baking tray, and place into oven for 40 minutes, or until easily pierced with a sharp knife. Times will vary depending on the size of your potatoes used.
Step 6

Set the potatoes aside, still wrapped and move onto the seed crumble.
Step 7

Reduce heat of the oven to 180C.
Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the molasses, soy sauce and garlic powder with the seeds and stir until all combined.
Step 9

Spread out the mixture on the prepared baking tray, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the sides go dark (but not charcoal). Set aside.
Step 10

Slightly flatten your potatoes, and place on top equal parts of cheese, spinach leaves, sour cream and finally sprinkle the seed crumble over the top.

Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

For vegan option, you could use your favourite sour cream and cheese alternatives. Home made cashew cream would go deliciously with this! Vegan cheese however tends to be a bit higher in sodium, so just use less.
