Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Pierce deep holes into the sweet potatoes. Wet the potatoes with coconut milk. Sprinkle with Celtic Sea Salt and fresh ground pepper. Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until the potatoes are soft.
- Cut out about 1 inch of potato and scoop out about half the filling. Be sure to leave enough in the shell to support the filling.
- Sauté the onions in a large sauté pan over medium heat until caramelized and golden brown. Add the garlic and continue cooking for another 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and slightly softened. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Add carrots and eggplant. Sauté vegetables until carrots and eggplant are light golden brown. Add the scooped out sweet potato; stir to combine.
- Add the remaining ingredients and the onion mixture to the pan. Cook over medium heat until the eggplant has softened, and the mixture is almost dry.
- Adjust seasoning to taste with balsamic vinegar, fresh ground nutmeg, Celtic Sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
- Divide the filling and stuff it back into the potato skins, mounding it if necessary.
- Reheat the stuffed potatoes to make sure everything is cooked
- Garnish as desired and serve warm
