  • Total Time: 55 min
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 medium sweet potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
1 can (400 ml) black beans, strained and rinsed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup corn
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 lime, juiced
2 tsp olive oil (for dressing)
1/4 tsp sea salt
Pinch of black pepper
Pinch of chili flakes
1 ripe avocado
2 tsp lime juice
Pinch of sea salt
1/3 cup coconut yogurt
1/2 tsp lime juice
Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400F (200C).
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes and poke holes throughout the skin with a fork.
  3. Place potatoes on a parchment-lined tray and coat lightly with oil. Bake for 40-60 minutes until fork-tender.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix black beans, tomatoes, corn, cilantro, red onion, and garlic. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
  5. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and salt to create a simple guacamole.
  6. In another small bowl, whisk the coconut yogurt with lime juice and a pinch of salt.
  7. Slice the baked sweet potatoes open, fluff the insides slightly with a fork, and fill with the bean medley. Top with guacamole and the coconut lime cream.

Notes

  • Choose potatoes of similar size for even cooking.
  • Check for doneness by squeezing the potato (using an oven mitt); it should feel soft.
  • Leftover bean medley stays fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days.
