Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium purple sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup black beans
- 1/4 avocado
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Thoroughly wash the purple sweet potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Using a fork, pierce several holes around each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. The skin should be slightly crisp and the interior soft.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions. If not already cooked, combine quinoa with water in a small saucepan and simmer until liquid is absorbed.
- Drain and rinse the black beans. If using canned beans, ensure they are well-drained.
- Once sweet potatoes are done, remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Carefully slice each potato lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
- Gently open the sweet potatoes and fluff the interior with a fork. Season the inside with salt and pepper.
- Fill each sweet potato with cooked quinoa and black beans, distributing evenly.
- Dice the avocado and sprinkle over the stuffed sweet potatoes.
- Drizzle lime juice over the top of each stuffed sweet potato for added brightness and flavor.
- Serve immediately while still warm, garnishing with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Tips
- • Choose firm, uniformly colored purple sweet potatoes for the best texture and visual appeal. • Make sure to pierce the potatoes multiple times to prevent potential steam buildup during roasting. • For extra protein, consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta or a dollop of Greek yogurt on top. • Prep your quinoa and beans in advance to make morning assembly quick and easy. • If you want a spicier version, add a dash of chili flakes or hot sauce before serving. • For meal prep, these can be partially prepared the night before and quickly reheated in the morning. • Experiment with different beans like chickpeas or kidney beans for variety.
