Cauliflower cheese sauce stuffed sweet potatoes with tempeh is an extremely satisfying comfort food.
Yet another comfort food. A very good one. Cauliflower cheese sauce stuffed sweet potato is a recipe that is extremely easy and simple to make, requiring just a few ingredients (give or take a topping). And it’s of course healthy, satisfying, vegan and gluten free. The tender, naturally sweet baked sweet potatoes go so well with the creamy, subtly spiced miso-cauliflower cheese, the fresh greens, the aromatic sun-dried tomatoes and the crispy tempeh. No-fuss recipe, that is filling, cheap and extremely tasty.
Oh yeah, stuffed sweet potatoes. Or potatoes. I am truly addicted. This is a STAPLE FOOD in our lives. It’s the food I always have as a ‘fast food’ on the go (Kumpir ♥︎) and as an ‘I have too many random things in my fridge food’. I truly love it. Creamy soups, random salads and stuffed potatoes are the best leftover savers, aren’t they? So here it is, another leftover-using recipe, though it can look so fancy, you would never guess it’s made out of fridge bottom ingredients. I hope you like it.

I do love sweet potatoes including stuffed, and I have paired it with many ingredients. However, I would have ever thought sweet potatoes would work with cauliflower. You have just proved it works:) Nice work Evi!
Thanks, Ben!
I love sweet potatoes so much, I pair them with anything and everything 😀
It sounds and looks delicious. I love leftover-using recipes too, I must make something like this at least once a week, very often on Sunday when I don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen and when I tend to want to clean the fridge for the next week’s shopping.
The same here! I don’t know why, but I also love to empty my fridge on Sundays to have a fresh start for Monday 🙂
This is such a beautiful recipe, both in presentation and flavor. I love stuffed potatoes so much. I could eat one everyday.
Me too! 😀

I would be hard pressed to think of a more satisfying comfort food than you cauliflower cheese sauce stuffed sweet potatoes! P.S. I laughed when you said this was a great “leftover saver.” I’m all about these kinds of recipes! 🙂
