Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Soy
1 hour
20 minutes
40 minutes
2 large or medium orange sweet potatoes
1 cup black beans, cooked
1 cup corn kernels, cooked
1/2 red onion, diced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 avocado
1 lime, juiced
1 jalapeño, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for drizzling
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with a little olive oil, and bake for 40 minutes or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Prepare the Bean Mixture:
While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté until translucent. Add the cooked black beans, corn kernels, and paprika. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Prepare the Avocado Mash:
In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Add the lime juice, finely chopped jalapeño, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Stuffed Sweet Potatoes:
Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut them in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create a well for the stuffing.
Fill the Sweet Potatoes:
Fill each sweet potato half with the bean and corn mixture. Top with a generous dollop of avocado mash.
Serve:
Serve the stuffed sweet potatoes warm, garnished with additional lime wedges and fresh cilantro if desired.
Tip: For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of shredded vegan cheese on top and broil for a few minutes until melted.
Variation: Substitute black beans with pinto beans or add some diced bell peppers for extra crunch.
