Savory Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
- 4 large round sweet potatoes (10 to 12 ounces each), scrubbed
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- Coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 ounces kale, preferably Tuscan, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 2 1/4 cups)
- 3.5 ounces (1/4 package) firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup water
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Bake sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet until tender but not completely cooked through, 55 to 70 minutes (depending on size).
- Remove from oven.
- When cool enough to handle, slice off the top quarter of each sweet potato; discard.
- Scoop out flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick shell.
- Coarsely chop half of the flesh; reserve remaining flesh for another use.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high.
- Add onion, garlic, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and the crushed red pepper flakes; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add kale; cook, tossing occasionally, until kale has wilted, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in chopped sweet potato, tofu, and the water.
- Cook, stirring, until filling is heated through, about 1 minute.
- Return sweet potato shells to baking sheet.
- Spoon filling into shells, dividing evenly.
- Cover with parchment, then foil, and bake until heated through, about 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven.
- Serve immediately.
