- Increase the oven temperature to 400°F and prepare another baking sheet for the potatoes.
- Scrub the potatoes, poke holes in them, and bake for 1 hour until fork-tender.
- Once cool, slice each potato in half and scoop out the flesh, leaving a ¼-inch lining.
- Drizzle the potato skins with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast cut-side down for 10 minutes.
- Turn the skins, drizzle with more olive oil, and roast for another 10 minutes until crispy.
- Blend the sunflower seeds, water, garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, and salt until creamy for the sunflower sour cream.
- In a bowl, mix black beans, corn, red onion, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, cilantro, and salt for the filling.
- Scoop the filling into the potato skins, top with sunflower sour cream and coconut bacon, and garnish before serving.
