Preparethe Sweet Potatoes

Preheat your oven to200°C (180°C fan-assisted). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce each one several times with a fork. Place them on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Prepare the Filling

While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sweetcorn, black beans, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the mixture is heated through and the flavours combine nicely. Set aside.

Assemble the Dish

Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Carefully cut a slit down the centre of each sweet potato and gently push the ends to open them up. Use a fork to fluff the insides a bit.

Fill the Sweet Potatoes

Divide the black bean and corn mixture evenly among the four sweet potatoes, spooning it into the centre of each.

Garnish and Serve

Once ready, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Garnish with fresh coriander, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Having ingredients on hand will streamline your cooking experience. In addition to the primary ingredients, you might want to have some optional garnishes ready, such as chopped fresh coriander or sour cream. These can add an extra layer of flavour and visual appeal to your final dish.

Ensuring you have everything prepped and measured before you start cooking will make the entire process smoother and more enjoyable.
