Ingredients

  • 1 sweet potato medium to large, but not monster
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt fresh ground pepper
  • Optional: paprika or other spices
  • Toppings such as hemp hearts sprouts, roasted vegetables, or ground meat
  • Chili lime black beans
  • Black beans drained, rinsed, & dried (about 1/2 can, maybe more)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil or avocado or olive oil
  • Sea salt and a combo of chili powder and cumin or Trader Joe's chili lime powder
  • Juice of 1/4 to 1/2 a lime
  • Quick guacamole
  • 1 ripe avocado diced
  • 3-4 grape tomatoes diced
  • Sea salt and optional garlic powder
  • Juice of 1/4 to 1/2 a lime

Instructions

  • Slice the sweet potato into "toast", about 1/4-inch thickness.  Spritz lightly with olive oil and season with sea salt (and other spices if desired).
  • Air fry at 400 F for 7-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until fork tender.  If you don't want to air fry, you can also roast in the oven at 425 F for 10-20 minutes.
  • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a small skillet on medium.  Add the coconut oil until it melts, then add the black beans.  Stir around to coat with the oil, then add the seasoning.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the beans until they expand and start to crisp, stirring occasionally.  This will take 3 to 5 minutes typically.  I also usually add a squeeze of fresh lime toward the end of the beans cooking, which gives freshness and acidity as well as slightly de-glazing the pan. Remove from heat.
  • In a small bowl, mash the avocado and diced tomatoes together.  Add the salt (and garlic powder, if using) and lime juice, and stir together.
  • Place the sweet potatoes on a plate and spoon the guacamole onto them.  Add the beans on top, then top with whatever other things you want---sometimes I add hemp hearts or meat for extra protein, or roasted broccoli or other vegetables for more bulk.
