Switch up your standard stuffed sweet potato with this Caribbean-inspired recipe that brings the tropics directly to your taste buds. After the first round of baking, the fluffy flesh is scooped out and mixed with spicy chili powder and creamy plant-based milk until it forms a velvety orange purée that’s ready for a second bake. A homemade mango and black filling salsa takes these tantalizing tubers to the next level of yum, while chopped jalapeño adds heat and lime juice delivers a zesty tang. Equal parts filling, refreshing, and flavorful, these self-contained packets of plant-based deliciousness will quickly become a family favorite recipe in your household.
Tip: To make ahead, prepare potatoes as directed through Step 2. Cover and refrigerate potatoes up to 1 day. Bake as directed, adding 10 to 15 minutes
