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

  1. Heat your oven to 400F or 200C. Pierce each sweet potato all around with a fork, spacing about 1 inch between holes. Lay a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush the potatoes lightly with oil, then bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour until soft.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend the black beans with cherry tomatoes, corn, cilantro, red onion, and garlic. Add lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, pepper, and chili flakes, stirring well to mix all ingredients.
  3. Mash the avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl to make guacamole.
  4. Combine coconut yogurt with lime juice and salt to create the vegan sour cream.
  5. Slice each sweet potato in half carefully and fill with the black bean mixture. Spoon guacamole on top and drizzle the vegan sour cream over before serving.

Notes

  • Baking times vary by sweet potato size
  • smaller ones need about 40 minutes while larger ones take close to an hour
  • Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the thickest part
  • it should slide in easily with little resistance
