Delicious and easy to make stuffed sweet potato!
We love sweet potato! We use it for desserts, lunch and dinner, there are just so many options. It is really versatile and healthy so we use it very often in savory and sweet dishes. It is packed with vitamins, fibers and minerals.
You can use it as a side dish or make it a star of the meal, like we did. This recipe for super quick, delicious and healthy lunch or dinner doesn’t require a lot of work. It is one of our favourite recipes, especially when we are too busy to spend hours in kitchen. We like to take it on the go, since it’s really convenient to pack.
Tomato sauce with soya mince
This sauce is a great base for many different dishes. We like to eat it with pasta, use it in lasagna, or stuff vegetables with it (zucchini, sweet potato, pumpkin, eggplant). You can also add different spices or vegetables (zucchini, sweet corn, chickpea, carrot) and you can have a whole new sauce with just a little adjustment.
These baked sweet potatoes are really soft and have the most amazing and juicy sauce in the middle. It is full of flavour and really delicious!
