Equipment needed: baking tray, parchment paper and mixing bowl

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C non fan/180°C fan/gas mark 6.

  2. Using a fork, poke small holes in sweet potatoes going all the way round, about 1-inch apart. Line baking tray with parchment paper, and lightly coat sweet potatoes with oil. Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour, or until fork tender. (See top tip section to check for doneness).

  3. In a bowl combine the black beans, tomatoes, sweetcorn, coriander, red onion and garlic. Drizzle with a third of the lime juice and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and chili flakes. Mix to combine.

  4. Make the guacamole: Mash the avocado in a bowl, then stir in a third of the lime juice and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.

  5. In a separate bowl mix together coconut yogurt, rest of the lime juice and salt to make a vegan sour cream.

  6. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and slice them in half. Fill each half with the black bean medley, then top with the guacamole and drizzle with vegan sour cream.

Top Tip:

  • Baking time for the sweet potatoes are dependant on size. Smaller sweet potatoes will take closer to 40 minutes, where as larger sweet potatoes take closer to 1 hour. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the largest part of the sweet potato; it should glide effortlessly with little resistance.
