Sweet potato kumpir. What a beautiful thing. Yeah \u2013 theeeeese are goooood. With this kumpir recipe, once again the humble potato shines through! Thank you Turkish street food for inspiring me to explore a vegan version made with sweet potatoes, rather than good old spuds. And this version is served with a sort of mediterrean TexMex mash-up of chunky salsa, full of tasty, fresh flavors.<\/p>\n

This sweet potato kumpir recipe is made with just basic 10 ingredients (give or take). Plus it\u2019s healthy, entirely plant-based, and gluten-free. Not to mention, it\u2019s the perfect way to refuel since it’s filling and nutritious.<\/p>\n

What is a Kumpir?<\/h2>\n

Still confused what “kumpir is? Well kumpir actually the Turkish name for a baked potato (a big baked potato) chock full with various fillings. Traditionally, the baked potato is sliced lengthwise in half and seasoned with salt, shredded cheese and butter inside and then comes the toppings…. It’s one of those things I enjoy as lunch pretty much every week.<\/p>\n

Only because I discovered a Turkish cafe near my office that serves them with the most delicious toppings. Five in all to choose from. Couscous salad, chickpea salad, avocado salad, tabouleh, and a whole lot of fresh veggies and other tasty choices. Yep, those mentioned are my fave. Plus carrots, cause they are good for you. \ud83d\ude09 To serve, it’s topped with a little sour cream and a spicy housemade chili chutney — to die for.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, the inspiration for this recipe not only comes from Turkish fast food, but also from a colleague of mine in Amsterdam. We recently had a team meeting in Stockholm and were asked to cook a spontaneous dinner for my boss at her home. So, as a member of “team dinner”, we made this delicious sweet potato kumpir recipe with black bean salsa, my favorite chickpea and tomato salad and well…BBQ, for the meat lovers.<\/p>\n

The thing I really love about this recipe is that it’s not your typical TexMex salsa. It has tangy pomegranate seeds which give it that extra special something.<\/p>\n

Yes, I think you guys are going to LOVE these sweet potato kumpirs. They are:
\nNaturally sweet (hence “sweet” potato! but feel free to sub in regular potatoes!)
\nSubtly spicy unless you up the jalepenos
\nFresh and flavorful
\nHealthy
\n100% plant-based and gluten-free
\n& Filling<\/p>\n

So go ahead and plan a potato party! Great thing is you can also do these on the BBQ!<\/p>\n
