Baked potato with vegetarian chilli topping
This is a wonderfully quick recipe I make regularly. It contains plenty of vegetables and pulses which are a great source of plant-based protein and soluble fibre. Why not double up the quantities and serve with wholegrain rice the next day? The chilli also freezes really well to have a healthy dinner available for a rainy day

Method
- Bake 2 potatoes in the oven in the usual way (or start them off in the microwave to speed up the cooking process).
- Twenty minutes before the potatoes will be ready, heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the onion, garlic, chilli flakes, paprika and cumin and fry for a couple of minutes.
- Add the pepper and courgette and fry for 3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the chickpeas, kidney beans, chopped tomatoes and tomato puree, some freshly ground black pepper and mixed herbs.
- Simmer gently for 15 minutes or until the chilli thickens to your taste.
- Take the baked potatoes from the oven and top each with 10g Flora ProActiv.
- Top with the chilli and serve.
Method – Air Fryer
- Prick the potatoes and air fry whole at 200°C for 35-40 minutes (or cut into 3cm chunks and air fry for 18-20 minutes), shaking/turning halfway, until tender.
- Add the drained chickpeas to the basket for the final 4-5 minutes to warm through.
- Tip into a bowl and roughly mash together.
- Off the heat, stir through the 20g ProActiv Light.
- Season to taste and serve warm.
