Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 1 kg sweet potatoes medium sized
  • 1 onion
  • 1 red paprika
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 red chili
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 small can corn
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 100 g grated cheese
  • fresh parsley or coriander

Aioli with Avocado

  • 1 avocado
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 0,5 garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Bake potatoes. Heat oven to 220°C. Wash sweet potatoes and cut them in half. Pierce in some holes into the peel with a fork and lay the potatoes with the flesh facing down onto a baking tray with baking parchment. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the flesh has turned soft (dependent on the size).
  • Fry vegetables. While the sweet potatoes are baking, dice the onion and paprika. Mince the garlic. Heat up a pan and add some oil. Add the onion and paprika and fry for about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for another minute. Turn off the heat and set the pan aside.
  • Prepare avioli. Cut avocado in half and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Mix and mash everything together with a fork.
  • Fill potatoes. Once the potatoes have turned soft, scoop out the flesh with a spoon and add it to the pan. Leave a thin layer of potato flesh inside the peel. Then, add the beans and corn to the pan, season with salt, pepper and sriracha and mix everything well. Fill sweet potatoes with the filling and add grated cheese on top. You won't be able to return the entire filling – you can use the leftovers as a side dish.
  • Bake. Put potatoes back in the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese has melted.
  • Serve. Take sweet potatoes out of the oven and serve hot with aioli on top and some fresh chopped parsley or coriander. Enjoy!
