Hot baked spuds topped with a fresh Italian tomato mix make these bruschetta topped jacket potatoes a gorgeous vegan meal.
I think Spring might finally be here – what a gorgeous bank holiday weekend it has been! We hit the park yesterday and it was so lovely to soak up a bit of sun. I also spent a lot of yesterday in the garden planting a few plants bit ready for some summer fruit / veg – so I’m really ready to get lots of spring / summery meals on the go and say goodbye to soups and stews for a while!
Jacket potatoes are a really easy weeknight meal for us, and I’ve been on the lookout for yummy vegan topping ideas since we cut out meat and dairy last summer – baked beans soon get boring! This is one of my favourites, it uses the same bruschetta topping as my easy tomato and basil bruschetta recipe which is really lovely piled into a soft and fluffy jacket spud!
