Ingredients
Method
- Heat oven to 200°C/400°F. Pierce sweet potatoes and roast on a tray for 45–55 minutes until soft.
- Warm oil in a saucepan, stir in beans, cumin, paprika, water and salt, and simmer for 5 minutes. Mash avocado with lime juice.
- Split potatoes and fill with smoky beans. Spoon avocado over the top.
A little note
Add shredded lettuce on the side for a fresh contrast.
Cooking tips
- Use a knife to check the thickest part of each sweet potato; the flesh should yield easily.
- Keep avocado separate until serving so it stays fresher and does not warm through with the beans.
