Loaded baked potatoes are always a big hit at our house. They are easy to make, super delicious, satisfying for all eaters (vegan or not), and are incredibly filling. It's like a tasty vegan buffet on a baked potato - great way to use up leftovers too!!!! You're going to love these vegan baked potatoes, I'm sure of it!
There's just something so satisfying about a baked potato stuffed with all your favourite things. We love them because they are simple and fuss free to make on busy weeknights. Plus it's a great way to use up leftover veggies.
I just pop a few potatoes in the oven to bake, bring out the leftovers, make a quick slaw, and then pile them on top. This is healthy, vegan comfort food at its best, and a family favorite for sure!
Ingredients
When I serve stuffed baked potatoes, I set everything out like a baked potato buffet so everyone can customize their own baked potato. Here's our go-to veggie packed baked potato combo:
- jacket potatoes - baked in the oven or air fryer
- baked tray vegetables - we like broccoli and cauliflower but often use leftover baked or grilled veggies
- beans - beans or chili style beans. I usually add BBQ sauce, chili powder and sriracha for extra flavor
- optional veggies - cherry tomatoes, avocado chunks, green onion slices
- creamy slaw - 5 minute vegan slaw
- cashew sauce - smoky chipotle cashew cream or sriracha cashew cream
How to Make Baked Potatoes
Baked Potatoes - Bake potatoes until soft when gently squeezed. About 40 minutes (you can par cook in the microwave if you are pressed for time then finish in the oven). Alternatively, you can bake a sweet potato if you prefer.
Baked Vegetables - break cauliflower and broccoli into bite-size florets, season as per your taste preference, and bake on a sheet pan for ~25 minutes.
Saucy Beans - use leftovers or grab a tin of your favorite beans in sauce, pour them into a saucepan over medium heat, add some smoky bbq sauce, a squirt of sriracha or chipotle tabasco, and a few teaspoons of chili powder for extra flavor.
Cashew Cream - the luscious, dairy-free cashew cream pulls all the smoky, bbq, spicy, tangy flavors together. I usually make a Tex-Mex cashew cream. This takes under 5 minutes! Leftovers store nicely in the fridge for up to a week. Another quick and delicious sauce to drizzle is this Sweet and Spicy Tahini Sauce!
The Rest - tomatoes and avocado chunks add extra color and texture. Green onions are non-negotiable in our house because they pair so deliciously with soft buttery baked potatoes and the cashew cream! Dairy-free slaw is quick, fresh, crunchy, and tangy - it makes the perfect topper for these stuffed vegan baked potatoes.
Ingredient Options
The options and combinations for stuffed vegan baked potatoes are endless. Some of our favorites include BBQ jackfruit stuffed potatoes. Indian stuffed potatoes using leftover Spicy Chana Masala with cashew cream as well as Lentil Mushroom Bolognese stuffed potatoes which was incredible. Yum!
