Building the Perfect Vegan Loaded Baked Potato

This loaded baked potato combines the warm, comforting textures of the potato with creamy cashew cream, savory mushrooms, and the bright flavor of fresh vegetables. Here’s how to put it all together:

1. Bake the Potato: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potato clean, pierce it a few times with a fork, and bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms: While the potato is baking, heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms until they’re golden and softened.
3. Prepare the Toppings: Dice the bell peppers and set aside. Once the potato is done, cut it open and fluff the inside with a fork.
4. Assemble the Toppings: Top the baked potato with a dollop of cashew cream or vegan sour cream, then add the sautéed mushrooms, diced bell peppers, and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast.
5. Finish with Fresh Clover Sprouts: Add a generous handful of fresh clover sprouts and season with sea salt and pepper for the perfect balance of flavors.
