Key ingredients and substitutions:

• Russet potatoes - russet potatoes are the best potatoes to use to make baked potatoes. The skin crisps up perfectly when you bake them, yet the insides stay nice and tender. 
• Avocado oil - avocado oil is one of my favourite plant based oils to bake with, but if you don't have avocado oil you can use olive oil instead. 
• Herbs de Provence spice blend - this spice blend is used to give these vegetarian baked potatoes the most incredible flavour. 

How to make this recipe:

Step one:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step two:

Now line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then wash and dry your potatoes and transfer them to the baking sheet. Be sure to pierce the potatoes a few times with a knife or fork (you don't want them exploding in the oven).

Step three:

Next coat the potatoes with avocado oil, rubbing it over all the sides evenly. Then sprinkle the salt, pepper and herbs over all the sides of the potatoes so they are coated evenly. Then place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.

Step four:

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before enjoying.

Tips and variations:

• Don't forget to pierce the skin of your potatoes before you bake them! If you don't they might explode in the oven. 
• If you don't have avocado oil you can use coconut oil or olive oil instead.
• Feel free to change out the spice blend you use for these vegan baked potatoes.

Vegan baked potato toppings:

• Vegan Sour Cream makes the perfect topping! I mean is there anything better than baked potatoes with sour cream?
• Add some chopped fresh chives or green onion.
• Top them with a little vegan butter or coconut oil. 
• Add some cooked vegan bacon. 

How to store:

Store any leftover baked potatoes in the fridge in an air tight container for up two 7 days.
