Vegan Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potato

A wholesome and flavorful vegan meal, this recipe features a tender baked sweet potato loaded with a savory and zesty filling of black beans, corn, and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized sweet potato
• 1/2 can (7 oz / 200g) black beans, rinsed
• 1/2 can (7 oz / 200g) corn kernels, drained
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 small tomato, diced
• 1/4 cup (10g) fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
• Juice of 1/4 lime or lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork.
2. Bake the sweet potato on a baking sheet for 40-50 minutes, or until tender.
3. Once cooked, let it cool slightly. Slice the sweet potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a border.
4. In a bowl, combine the scooped-out flesh with the black beans, corn, onion, tomato, and cilantro. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
5. Spoon the filling back into the sweet potato halves. Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to heat through.

Enjoy!
