So today is National Avocado Day, and you guys know avocado is like the best fruit out here right? Ok maybe watermelon is #1 but avocado is still pretty great! Very creamy, versatile, and a great addition to salads so that you don’t need to use a dressing. Also, who doesn’t love guacamole!?
I thought these stuffed sweet potatoes topped with the celebrated fruit was the perfect way to celebrate avocado day, and I think it’s something you should try too ;)
These are full of healthy fats, carbohydrates & loaded with vitamins & minerals to fuel the body and keep it running efficiently! So what do ya say? Sweet potato time?! 🍠

- 12oz of tomato purée
- handful of sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 diced onion
- 2 large handfuls of spinach
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp tahini

- juice of 1/2 lemon
- pinch of salt
Instructions:
- preheat oven to 400°F
- place washed sweet potatoes on a non-stick baking tray and place in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour, until baked to perfection
- while they are baking, add onions and 1/2 of the minced garlic to a sauce pan with water and sauté until onions are translucent
- add the mushrooms, spinach, corn, peas and tomato purée and heat until spinach has wilted down
- prepare the Tahini sauce by adding Tahini, water, lemon juice, salt & remaining minced garlic to a bowl and whisk together; add more water if you want it more runny, and less water for a thicker sauce
- once potatoes are done, cut in half but not all the way through, and fill with the tomato filling. drizzle the Tahini sauce on top & top with avocado & more garlic if desired!
