Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Sour cream and sliced green onions for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes and prick them several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.

- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice each sweet potato lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Divide the bean and vegetable mixture evenly among the sweet potatoes, then top each with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Sprinkle the stuffed sweet potatoes with chopped cilantro and serve with a dollop of sour cream and sliced green onions on top.
