Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Using a fork, puncture the potatoes several times all over. This allows steam to escape during baking.
Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub the potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Transfer the potatoes directly onto the oven rack or place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender. Test doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the center; it should glide in easily.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Slice a deep cross on the top of each potato and gently pinch from the ends to open them slightly.
Top each potato with 1 tablespoon of vegan butter, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, and garnish with chopped chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan oven baked potatoes as a delightful main dish or a hearty side.
