Ingredients

4 sweet potatoes
1 can black beans, drained
1 cup corn
1/2 red onion, diced
1 lime, juiced
1 tsp cumin
to drizzle avocado or tahini

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C (400F) and pierce the sweet potatoes all over.
Roast them directly on the rack for 40 to 45 minutes until completely soft.
Warm the black beans and corn with the cumin, red onion, salt, and pepper.

Split the roasted sweet potatoes open and fluff the insides with a fork.
Pile in the bean and corn mixture.
Drizzle with a lime-avocado or tahini sauce and serve.

💡 Chef's tip

Pierce the potatoes several times before roasting so steam escapes and they cook evenly without bursting.

Roasting the sweet potatoes whole until completely soft caramelizes their natural sugars and gives a creamy interior that no microwave shortcut can match.
