Ingredients
Scale
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 can (400 ml) black beans strained and rinsed or 1 1/2 cups cooked black beans
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes chopped
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1/3 cup cilantro chopped tightly packed
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 1 clove garlic diced
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- pinch pepper
- pinch chili flakes
- 1 avocado
- 2 tsp lime juice
- pinch sea salt
- 1/3 cup coconut yogurt
- 1/2 tsp lime juice
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400F 200C and prick sweet potatoes all around using a fork, spacing holes about 1 inch apart. Place them on a lined baking tray and brush each with oil to coat lightly.
- Bake the sweet potatoes for 40 minutes to 1 hour until a fork slides in easily with little resistance.
- Mix black beans, chopped tomatoes, corn, cilantro, red onion, and garlic in a bowl. Add lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, pepper, and chili flakes, then stir until everything is combined.
- Mash the avocado in a separate bowl and blend in lime juice and a pinch of salt to make guacamole.
- In another bowl, combine coconut yogurt with lime juice and sea salt to prepare vegan sour cream.
- When sweet potatoes are cooked and halved, fill each half with the black bean mixture. Top with the guacamole and drizzle the vegan sour cream over everything before serving.
Notes
- Baking times for sweet potatoes vary with size
- smaller ones need about 40 minutes, larger ones can take up to 1 hour
- Test doneness by piercing the thickest part with a toothpick which should slide in easily
