What Is the Recipe for Stuffed Sweet Potato?

To make stuffed sweet potatoes, you would need:

  • Four medium-sized sweet potatoes

  • One can (15 ounces) of black beans (rinsed and drained)

  • One cup of corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

  • One diced red bell pepper

  • Half a cup of diced red onion

  • One teaspoon of ground cumin

How To Make Stuffed Sweet Potato?

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminium foil. Scrub the sweet potatoes clean under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the filling. Add a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the diced red onion and cook for two to three minutes until softened. Add the chopped red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another two to three minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the black beans, corn kernels, ground cumin, chilli powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for three to four minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated.

Once the sweet potatoes are baked and tender, remove them from the oven and cool slightly. Slice each sweet potato lengthwise down the centre, careful not to cut through all the way. Gently fluff the insides of the sweet potatoes with a fork to create space for the filling. Spoon the black bean and corn mixture evenly into the sweet potatoes.

Serve hot stuffed sweet potatoes with optional toppings such as avocado slices, chopped fresh cilantro, salsa, Greek yoghurt, or sour cream. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious stuffed sweet potatoes!
