Vegan Baked Potato with Broccoli & Marinara

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium-large russet potato
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup small broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup marinara (I like tomato basil)
  • 1 to 2 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil; roughly chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast
  • Vegan Parmesan, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 425. Scrub the potato and pierce several times with a fork. Pat the potato dry with a clean dish towel, then place directly on the middle oven rack. Bake for one hour, or until tender--a knife inserted into the center of the potato should meet little resistance. 
  • When the potato has about ten minutes left in the oven, heat the olive oil in a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Saute the broccoli until crisp tender, stirring occasionally. Add the red pepper flakes, and cook for one minute more. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • While the broccoli is cooking, warm the marinara and sun-dried tomatoes in a small pot over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. 
  • Remove the potato from the oven, then slice lengthwise--not entirely through--to expose the flesh. Top with the nutritional yeast, then season with salt and pepper. Spoon the marinara and sun-dried tomatoes over the potato, followed by the broccoli. Sprinkle with vegan Parmesan, to taste.
