Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 2 minutes.
Score the insides of the potatoes into a lattice shape. Rub the potatoes with the extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Air fry in the basket for 15 minutes, then turn and cook for another 15 minutes. Check the centres are soft.
In the meantime, for the beans, put the extra virgin olive oil and onion in a wide-bottom pan and fry gently on a low heat for around 8 minutes until soft and browning. Add the garlic and spices and fry for 30 seconds more.
Add the tomatoes, sun-dried tomato paste, soy sauce and harissa to the pan and cook for 5–6 minutes.
Now add the beans and maple syrup and cook on a low heat for 5 minutes more. Finally, season well.
To serve, scoop out the centres of the potatoes and add the flesh to a bowl. Mash with a fork and stir in the yogurt and nutritional yeast. Season well and put back into the potato skins, then top with the beans, extra yogurt and the cashew parmesan (if using).
