Ingredients
  

  • 4 whole sweet potatoes medium-sized scrubbed clean
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil for coating the skins
  • 1 can black beans rinsed and drained about 400 ml
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes finely chopped
  • ½ cup corn cooked or thawed if frozen
  • ⅓ cup cilantro fresh finely chopped and packed
  • ¼ cup red onion very finely diced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ lime juiced fresh
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil for the bean mixture
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt fine grain
  • 1 pinch black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 pinch chili flakes adjust to taste
  • 1 ripe avocado peeled and pitted
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice for the guacamole
  • 1 pinch sea salt for the guacamole
  • ⅓ cup coconut yogurt plain and unsweetened
  • ½ teaspoon lime juice for the drizzle
  • 1 pinch sea salt for the drizzle

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F / 200°C, prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, set them on a parchment-lined tray, and brush lightly with oil before baking until completely tender, about 40–60 minutes depending on size.
  2. In a large bowl, add the black beans, tomatoes, corn, cilantro, red onion, and garlic.
  3. Pour in the lime juice and olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes before tossing everything together until evenly mixed.
  4. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt until mostly smooth.
  5. In another bowl, stir together the coconut yogurt, lime juice, and salt until smooth and pourable.
  6. Slice the baked sweet potatoes open, spoon the bean mixture inside, finish with dollops of guacamole, and drizzle with the creamy sauce.
