Ingredients
  

  • The Kumpir Base:
  • 3 Large Sweet Potatoes washed and dried
  • 3 tbsp Vegan butter 1 tbsp per potato
  • 1 cup Vegan cheddar or mozzarella shreds 1/3 cup per potato
  • Salt to taste
  • Topping Option 1: Turkish Classic:
  • 1/2 cup Sweet corn
  • 1/4 cup Sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup Diced dill pickles
  • 1/2 cup Diced vegan sausage pan-fried
  • Vegan garlic mayo for drizzling
  • Topping Option 2: Tex-Mex:
  • 1/2 cup Black beans rinsed
  • 1/2 cup Corn and diced red onion
  • 1 Diced avocado
  • Vegan sour cream and fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Topping Option 3: Fall Harvest:
  • 1/2 cup Crispy roasted chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup Dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup Crushed pecans
  • Tahini and lemon juice for drizzling

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the washed sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until completely tender when pierced with a knife.
  3. Step 3: While the potatoes are baking, prepare your desired toppings and place them in small serving bowls.
  4. Step 4: The Kumpir Mash: Working quickly while the potatoes are piping hot, slice them lengthwise (but not all the way through).
  5. Step 5: Gently fluff the inside flesh with a fork. Add 1 tablespoon of vegan butter, a generous pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup of vegan cheese to each potato.
  6. Step 6: Use a fork to vigorously mash the butter and cheese into the potato flesh until it becomes a creamy, stretchy puree inside the skin.
  7. Step 7: Top your Kumpir base with your favorite combination of ingredients from the options above, drizzle with sauce, and serve immediately!

Notes

  • Baking Tip: Do not wrap the sweet potatoes in foil, or they will steam and become watery.
  • Mashing: You must mash the butter and cheese into the potato immediately after taking it out of the oven. If it cools down, the vegan cheese will not melt properly!
