Preheat oven to 425

Scrub potatoes and place each one in foil. Drizzle oil and a few dashes of salt and pepper

Give it all a good massage, prick with a knife all over, and wrap each one tightly. 

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes. Once you can insert a knife into it and it comes out easily you know it’s done.

BBQ Meat Sauce:

On medium to low flame, drizzle oil in a pot, and sautee onions for a few minutes. Sprinkle with garlic powder, chicken soup mix, and salt-this allows the onions to break down quicker and give flavor right from the beginning. We are looking to sweat the onions, for them to look transparent, NOT brown.

Then add the meat, break it up so it becomes finer and let it cook until it’s all brown. We are not looking to fully cook the meat, just to give it color. Once it’s fully brown, add the tomato paste, liquid smoke, coconut sugar, and ketchup and cook for 1-2 minutes. Lastly, add the broth. Give it a good stir, and let it come to a boil. Then lower the flame to a low setting and cover.

Cook for 45-50 minutes.

Cut open sweet potatoes, and spoon in the sauce! Garnish with your favorite toppings- I used sliced avocados, chives, and parve sour cream, and served a salad alongside it.

Enjoy!
