As many of you know, I love my savory food. In fact, I have never met a french fry, nacho, or pizza I don't love. So, in order to satisfy my cravings, I 'veganize' my favorite savory food like skinny vegan potato skins.
For example, skinny vegan potato skins are easy to make, and they can be done without oil and fattening additions. First, all you need is baking potatoes, and your favorite toppings. When I make my favorite potato skins, I use my Skinny Nacho “Cheese” Sauce, and my Vegan Coconut Bacon. I also like to add avocado and jalapeños.

Although the toppings are endless, you can really create any skinny vegan potato skins; just remember the healthiness is all in the toppings. For instance, you could add vegan chili, diced tomatoes, Skinny Girl Vegan Sour Cream, and cilantro. Sometimes, I top with salsa and guacamole.
Despite what you choose to top your skinny vegan potato skins with, the process of making them is easy. All you have to do is bake the potatoes, and carefully remove the flesh from inside the potatoes.
Additionally, the flesh you remove can be used for Skinny Miso Vegan Mashed Potatoes, or the topping for a shepherd's pie.
