Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Pierce sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Rub 1 tablespoon sea salt into potato skins. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until a sharp knife easily cuts into potatoes, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Leave the oven on; cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
  4. 4 Scoop out each potato half into a large bowl, making sure to keep the outer peel/shell intact. Mash the cooked sweet potato flesh thoroughly, until smooth, then add cream cheese, butter, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, and ginger. Mix completely. Spoon filling into each potato skin. Place filled skins back onto the parchment-lined pan. Sprinkle with panko bread crumbs. Cut vegan Cheddar into strips and layer onto potatoes like lattice.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are just beginning to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle with parsley and green onions. Bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining nutmeg prior to serving.
