This recipe for kale and cranberry stuffed sweet potatoes makes the perfect vegan holiday side or even main. Of course not just for vegans. Because everybody loves stuffed sweet potatoes! These here are stuffed with garlicky tahini yogurt, sweet dried cranberries, protein-packed kidney beans, massaged kale and crunchy toasted walnuts. These potatoes are warm and autumnal and super delicious. The flavours here are simply incredible.
I was always into stuffed potatoes, but when I discovered stuffed sweet potatoes a few years ago my love has reached a whole new level. Because stuffed sweet potatoes are extremely cool and satisfying, no matter what. Beautiful, flavourful, sweet and savoury comfort food. They are absolutely customisable, you can make the simplest dinner any time of year or make a super fancy festive version for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Though we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Europe, I felt so inspired by all the delicious holiday recipes on the internet. Pumpkin pies, green bean casseroles, cranberry sauces, mashed potatoes and gravy makes me wanna join you all! Unfortunately I can’t do so, so I have to get in holiday mode with these little stuffed potatoes myself.

You definitely have to try stuffed sweet potatoes 😉
Perfect main dish!!! I love the cool creamy yogurt to go along!
Thank you, Rebecca!
What an amazing holiday dish! Looks and sounds so Christmassy 😀
And yep, everyone loves sweet potatoes
Thank you 🙂
I do love stuffed sweet potatoes too! But I have always been afraid of adding the sweet components like cranberries and choosen for savory and spicy ones. But this combo looks and sounds fantastic. Tahini sauce is the winner! Great pictures too, Evi!
Thank you, Ben!
Usually I also go for savory and spicy components, but every now and then cranberries are great too 😉
YUM! I love stuffed sweet potatoes. The kale and cranberries make it the perfect winter meal. Nicely done, Evi.
Thank you, Linda!
Annyira jó ez is! Hol veszel kale-t Pesten?
Köszi!
Én még sose vettem Pesten, de úgy tudom a Mom biopiacánál lehet venni, fodros kel néven. Kérdezd meg esetleg Zizit, ő szokott gyakran venni: http://www.zizikalandjai.com/
De siess, mert csak télen van szezonja 🙂
Yum! Planning on making these for dinner. I assume you use unsweetened soy yoghurt.
Hi Jess,
Yes, I use unsweetened yoghurt, though a not too sweet version could work as well.
I hope you will like it!
