Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork.
- 2
Place the sweet potatoes directly on an oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until very tender when squeezed.
- 3
While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, thawed corn, diced red onion, diced red bell pepper, minced jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro.
- 4
Add the lime juice, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the bean and corn mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
- 5
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, carefully slice them open lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Fluff the inside with a fork.
- 6
Generously spoon the black bean and corn filling into each sweet potato.
- 7
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like fresh avocado, a spoonful of salsa, or a dollop of vegan sour cream. Enjoy your comforting, oil-free meal!
Pro Tips
High in fiber at 15g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
