Stuffed Baked Potatoes with Mushroom and Spinach by @twospoons.ca 😍 So easy and full of flavor! Get the recipe:⠀ ⠀ Recipe:⠀ 4 russet potatoes⠀ 1 tbsp coconut oil⠀ 2 cloves garlic , finely chopped⠀ 4 cups (250g) cremini mushrooms⠀ pinch salt⠀ 1 tbsp almond butter⠀ 1 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette⠀ 1 tbsp lemon juice⠀ 4 cups baby spinach (approx. 2 handfuls)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 1. Preheat oven to 425F/215C. Poke holes around each potato using a fork (this will help the heat to escape while baking). Wrap each in tin foil and bake in the oven for 40-50, or until you can easily poke through the cooked potatoes with a toothpick.⠀ 2. In a skillet add coconut oil, garlic, sliced mushrooms and pinch salt. Cook on medium heat for 5-10 minutes.⠀ 3. Whisk together almond butter, balsamic and lemon juice and pour over mushrooms. Continue cooking until mushrooms are browned and ready to eat, then toss in baby spinach and cook until wilted (2-3 minutes). Slice open baked potatoes and fill with mushroom and spinach medley. Optional to drizzle with vegan gravy.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 🥑🥑🍅 Get our 28-day vegan meal plan & vegan cooking guide 👉 @recipesforvegan (link in bio)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #veganfood #plantbasedfood #veganbowl #plantbase #plantbasedfoods #whatveganseat #veganrecipes #plantbasedrecipes #plantbased #veganrecipe #healthy #veganfoodie #veganeats #veganfoodshare #vegansofig #plantbasedrecipe #vegancomfortfood #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedfoodie #veganfoodporn

Crispy Smashed Potatoes by @crumbs.and.caramel ♥️ An easy and satisfying snack! 😋 share this recipe with someone who loves potatoes!⠀ ​⠀ 👉 Ingredients⠀ 2 lbs baby potatoes washed and sprout spots removed⠀ 1/4 cup kosher or pickling salt (the potatoes don't absorb all this salt during cooking but seasons them perfectly)⠀ 1/4 cup olive oil⠀ 1/2 tsp garlic powder⠀ 1/2 tsp onion powder⠀ 1/2 tsp ground black pepper⠀ ​⠀ 👉 Instructions⠀ Preheat the oven to 425°F.⠀ Place the potatoes in a large pot. Add the salt and enough water to cover the potatoes by 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a low boil until the potatoes are barely fork tender, about 15 minutes. If your potatoes are larger, they may take a bit longer.⠀ Drain the potatoes. Dump them on a large baking sheet and place them in the oven for 2-3 minutes to dry off. Remove them from the oven and, once cool enough to handle, coat them in the oil then sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper on them. Spread them out evenly on the baking sheet. Using the bottom of a dry measuring cup or a potato masher, gently press down on each potato to squish them until they're about 1/2 inch thick.⠀ Use a pastry brush to brush the oil from the tray onto the newly exposed insides of the potatoes.⠀ Bake until the potatoes are golden and crispy, about 35-45 minutes. Do not flip. Serve immediately.⠀ ​.⠀ .⠀ 🥑🥑🍅 Get our 28-day vegan meal plan & vegan cooking guide 👉 @recipesforvegan (link in bio)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ​#veganrecipes #veganbowls #veganrecipe #veganfood #whatveganseat #vegansofig #plantbasedfood #plantbased #veganfoodshare #healthy
