Equipment

Ingredients
- 4 medium sized sweet potatoes
- 1 batch Spiced Black Beans
Sautéd Pepper and Onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1/2 red onion diced
- 1/8 tsp salt
Mashed Avocado
- 1 medium, ripened avocado
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
Bake the sweet potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 450F. Meanwhile, wash the outside of the potatoes and poke them a few times with a fork. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the potatoes on them, evenly spaced. Bake the potatoes for 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes, until fork tender.
Make the Spiced Black Beans
- Meanwhile, make the 10-Minute Spiced Black Beans.
Make the Sautéed Peppers and Onion
- Heat a small pan over medium heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the diced bell pepper, red onion, and salt. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the bell peppers have softened.
Make the Mashed Avocado
- Mash the avocado with lime and salt.
Assemble
- Once the sweet potatoes have cooked through, slice lengthwise. Mash the sweet potato inside with the back of your fork.
- Now it's time to assemble! Start by spooning about 1/2 cup of spiced black beans in the sweet potato, add some diced peppers and onions, and top with the mashed avocado.
- Feel free to add any other toppings, such as fresh lime, cilantro, salsa or hot sauce!
