Vegan Cheesy Broccoli Stuffed Potatoes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Scrub each potato and then pierce it with a knife. Arrange the potatoes on a parchment-lined tray and bake for 45-60 minutes or until tender when stuck with a knife.

Step 3

While the potatoes are baking, make the vegan cheese sauce.

Step 4

In a large pan over medium-high heat, bring ½-inch of water to a simmer, add the broccoli and cover it. Reduce the heat to medium and let it cook for 5-8 minutes. The broccoli should be bright green and tender.

Step 5

Use a slotted spoon to remove the broccoli from the pan. Drain the water and then put the broccoli back into the pan. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the broccoli and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

When the potatoes are done baking, slice each one halfway through and squeeze the sides together to make an opening in the center. Put a couple of spoonfuls of the cheese sauce into the center of each potato along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fill each potato with broccoli and then drizzle the cheese sauce over the top. Garnish with chives.
