Spicy Turmeric Twice Baked Potatoes

These Gluten-Free Vegan Spicy Turmeric Twice-Baked Potatoes are an easy and healthy recipe made with clean, real food ingredients. It's the perfect plant-based side dish or meal and can be made with white or sweet potatoes!

Gluten-Free Vegan Spicy Turmeric Twice-Baked Potatoes 

If you want a change of pace and a little spice to your regular twice baked potatoes, these Spicy Turmeric Twice-Baked Potatoes are just for you!

They are very flavorful with the spices of turmeric and cumin and a little spicy from red pepper flakes.

My recipe uses two potatoes, which could be a meal for two or a side dish for four.

And don't worry if you won't have or want to use regular white potatoes...I've made this with sweet potatoes too and it's just as good!

Traditional twice-baked potatoes are usually filled with dairy...cheese, sour cream, yogurt, and butter.

My healthy plant-based version is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and paleo (based on Primal Palate's paleo guidelines) and Medical Medium compliant.

Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions For Spicy Turmeric Twice-Baked Potatoes

Here are some expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:

Tip #1:  As I noted in the recipe section, I don't use a microwave or aluminum foil so the method I use to bake my potatoes may not be the most time-efficient.  I usually start baking them a couple of hours before dinner and they are ready when I need them.  Feel free to use your favorite method of making a baked potato if you need them quickly.

Tip #2:  This is a spicy recipe so if you don't like spicy or will be serving it your children, you may want to reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.

Tip #3:  Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your preference.
