Loaded Sweet Potatoes (gluten free, dairy free, paleo)

Jump to Recipe

Loaded Sweet Potatoes (gluten free) | www.savorylotus.com

Dig into some healthy comfort food with these savory and satisfying Loaded Sweet Potatoes. Kind of like nachos but not.

OK… so I was going to call this recipe Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos because that’s what I was in the mood for.  But seeing as the recipe doesn’t include chips or cheese, I didn’t want a ton of comments telling me that these were not really nachos (details!  details!)  But in my mind, I am eating nachos when I eat this dish.

I’m always looking for ways to recreate healthier versions of my favorite comfort foods. Nachos loaded with all the things is definitely at the top of my list.  But seeing as I don’t feel hot when I eat corn or dairy, I’ve been depriving myself.  Until now!

The recipe is simple.  Bake your sweet potato rounds.  Brown and season your meat. Add whatever toppings make you happy.  And then stuff your face. Feel happy.  End of story.

As you can see, I loaded my sweet potato rounds with spiced turkey meat, olives, radishes, mangoes, jalapeños, avocados, and cilantro. I LOVE the combination of sweet mangoes and spicy jalapeños. I also drizzled on a bit of coconut cream (the thick part that separates from full fat coconut milk) with a squeeze of lime and salt added.  Holy yum!  Better than sour cream.

But feel free to load up whatever you like.  Tomatoes. green chilis. sauerkraut, chopped lettuce, cheese, real sour cream, etc. There are no rules except just pile it on.

These Loaded Sweet Potatoes are a great way to mix it up for dinner.  Serve with a big green salad for an easy meal.  They’re also a fun way to feed a crowd.  Double the recipe and watch people go to town and devour.

So let’s just pretend that we are eating nachos, OK?  OK!  Enjoy!

xo,

Katja

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 small sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp butter, ghee, or coconut oil, melted (where to get grass fed ghee)
  • 1 tbsp butter, ghee, or coconut oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 pound ground meat (turkey, chicken, beef, or bison)
  • 1 tsp chili powder (like this)
  • 1 tsp cumin powder (like this)
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne powder (like this)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

Garnish

  • 4 small radishes, thinly sliced
  • black olives, sliced
  • 1 mango, peeled and chopped
  • 2 small jalapeños, deseeded and sliced
  • extra cilantro
  • coconut cream, non-dairy plain coconut yogurt, plain yogurt, or sour cream (mixed with a tbsp of fresh lime juice and salt to taste)**** see note (where to buy BPA free coconut milk)
  • lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400″F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Pour melted fat of choice on sweet potato rounds and mix to evenly coat. Spread rounds single layer onto baking sheets. Bake 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway through- until fork tender. Remove from oven.
  3. While sweet potatoes are baking, melt 1 tablespoon of fat of choice in a large skillet. Add onions and saute until translucent about- 4 minutes. Add ground meat and saute until browned. Add chili powder, cumin, cayenne, and salt PLUS 2 tablespoons of water. Mix and cook until water in evaporated, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat and add cilantro. Mix to combine.
  4. TO ASSEMBLY LOADED SWEET POTATOES: Simply spoon ground meat mixture over sweet potatoes and sprinkle on all other garnishes. Eat and enjoy!

Notes

*** I made this recipe with the top layer of a full fat coconut milk (the coconut cream.) You will need to leave the can in fridge overnight to separate the layers. You can also use non-dairy plain coconut yogurt. If dairy is your thing, you can also use plain yogurt or sour cream.

👉 do you have digestive issues? 👉 because 👉 do you have digestive issues? 

👉 because of high stress lifestyles, many of us have an overworked, under-functioning digestive system, imbalanced intestinal flora and a continuous flow of intestinal toxins seeping into the bloodstream 😩 • constipation, diarrhea 💩, gas 💨, heartburn 🔥 + IBS are common complaints of many adults in the US

👉 impaired digestion leads to intestinal toxemia • slow digestion + constipation allow bacteria in the gut to act upon undigested food, producing toxic chemicals and gases that damage the mucous lining, resulting in increased intestinal permeability known as leaky gut • leaky gut can lead to inflammation , food sensitivities, autoimmune reactions, anxiety, depression, acne, + so much more

👉 the colon is one of our major drainage pathways for eliminating toxins + wastes out of the body • it’s no surprise that there has been a huge up-tick in colon cancer as environmental toxins + constipation have increased 

👉 what if our medical system had a better understanding of drainage pathways + the importance of digestive health? • what if our primary doctors talked to us about parasites, pathogens, enemas, saunas, hydration, mindful eating, low stomach acid, + real nutrition? • what if our food system wasn’t corporate sponsored and geared towards profits instead of health? 

👉 i personally had to see 5 different integrative + functional medicine practitioners in order to find real healing • none of it was covered by my insurance • not everyone can afford this • how do millions of people in the country suffer from digestive issues (which lead to a whole host of chronic health issues) but we have no real answer, just band-aids? • how much 💰 does the pharmaceutical industry make from these digestive issues • just starting the conversation • bc i see so many people suffering ❤️

👉P.S. my intention is not to harp on conventional medicine • i’ve been an RN for almost 17 years working bedside with women + their families • i’m speaking from my personal experience of seeing my patient population get sicker + sicker over the years • we are not doing it right • we are missing the mark 🎯
🎂🎂 i’m always looking for a reason to cele 🎂🎂 i’m always looking for a reason to celebrate • finding those small pockets of joy ✨✨ • so when someone i LOVE has a birthday, this is the cake i like to make ❤️ • BROWNIE BOTTOM ICE CREAM CAKE • two layers of your favorite ice cream nested on top of the most delicious gluten + grain free (+ vegan) brownie layer topped with fresh whipped cream, berries, + shaved chocolate • so easy to make and so fun to eat • to make dairy, use dairy free ice cream + coconut whipped cream
