Method

Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 425� F and line a baking tray with parchment paper so the sweet potatoes release easily and the caramelized edges do not stick.

Prep the sweet potatoes

Halve the Sweet Potatoes lengthwise. Prick the skins a few times with a fork, then rub the cut sides with Olive Oil. Season the cut surfaces with Salt and Black Pepper, then arrange the halves cut-side down on the lined tray.

Roast until tender

Roast the sweet potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes, until the centers feel very soft when pierced and the cut sides are well browned and caramelized. Leave them on the tray while you finish the toppings.

Cook the tofu filling

Set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble in the Firm Tofu and let it sit undisturbed for a few minutes so some moisture cooks off before you stir. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu looks dry and lightly golden. Add a little more Olive Oil, then stir in Nutritional Yeast, Smoked Paprika, Ground Cumin, Garlic Powder, and a little more Black Pepper. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes so the spices smell fragrant. Reduce the heat to medium, pour in the Tamari (or gluten-free soy sauce) and Tomato Sauce (or passata), and stir until everything is evenly coated. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until the mixture turns glossy and well seasoned. If it starts looking too thick, loosen it with a small splash of water. Keep warm over low heat.

Char the corn

Heat a dry skillet over high heat. Spread the Corn Kernels in a thin layer and let them sit briefly before stirring. Keep cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring only every so often, until the corn picks up browned, lightly charred spots. Transfer it to a bowl or plate so it does not keep cooking in the hot pan.

Mix the fresh salsa

Finely dice the Tomato and Red Onion, then add them to a bowl with chopped Fresh Parsley (or cilantro), Lime Juice, and a pinch of Salt. Stir well and let the salsa sit while you finish the rest so the flavors meld.

Mash the avocado topping

Peel and pit the Avocados (ripe), then place the flesh in a separate bowl. Add more Lime Juice, some finely chopped Red Onion, and a pinch of Salt. Mash with a fork until creamy but still a little chunky, like a quick guacamole.

Fill and serve

Transfer the hot sweet potato halves to plates or shallow bowls. Add a little Vegan Butter to the centers and mash the flesh gently with a fork inside the skins, keeping each half intact like a boat. Sprinkle over the Dairy-Free Shredded Cheese so it starts to melt from the heat, then spoon on the warm tofu filling. Finish with the avocado topping, charred corn, and a spoonful of fresh salsa. Serve right away while everything is hot and the toppings are fresh.

Looks like a solid vegan option, but 1451 calories is a lot! Would definitely cut down the oil and avocado portion to get this closer to my daily macro goals. Good to have in the rotation though.
