But if it was, we know where our money would go.
INGREDIENTS
- 6 russet potatoes
- 1 tbsp oil plus more for drizzle
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 red or yellow peppers, diced
- 1 package Very Good Pepperoni
- 1 ½ cups plant-based shredded cheddar cheese
- Garlic salt, to taste
- 3-4 green onions, sliced
Cajun Dip
- 1 1/2 cups plant-based, plain yogurt
- 3 tbsp cajun spice
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Poke holes in the potatoes to let out steam. Add to sheet pan and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, in a mid-sized pan over medium-high heat, add oil and sauté onions, peppers, and pepperoni for 6-10 minutes, or until pepperoni is golden and vegetables are soft. Season with salt and pepper.
- Ensure baked potatoes are cooled. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving a ¼" shell. Cut in half lengthways and place on a sheet pan.
- Drizzle potatoes with oil and garlic salt. Bake for 15 minutes, or until they're starting to crisp.
- Remove from the oven and top with pepperoni mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- In the meantime, combine all Cajun Dip ingredients and mix well. Add and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Top potato skins with green onion with cajun dip, and serve.
