Loaded Broccoli & Nacho Cheese Potato

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes
• 2 cups broccoli florets

Nacho cheese sauce:

• 3/4 cup diced potato
• 1 tbsp chopped carrot
• 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne, more to taste
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1-2 tbsp water, as needed to blend

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet and pierce with a fork. Roast for 50-75 minutes, until cooked all the way through. Remove from oven and set aside.

While the potatoes are roasting, add a couple of inches of water to a medium-sized pot and place a steaming basket in it. Add the diced potato and carrot, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until soft. Remove from heat and place in a blender. Add the turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, lemon juice and water to the blender and blend until very smooth.

To prepare the broccoli, add a couple of inches of water to a medium-sized pot and place a steaming basket in it. Add the broccoli florets, cover and cook for 6-8 minutes until soft. Remove from heat.

To serve, cut an opening lengthwise through the potatoes and fill the cavity with broccoli florets. Drizzle a few tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce onto each potato and serve immediately. Enjoy!
