If you’re having an intense week at work, as the ones I’m having lately, or just because you like the idea, today I am sharing this healthy and easy recipe: stuffed sweet potato with red beans and avo. Actually this is one my favourite ways to eat sweet potatoes: stuffed and baked! 

I prepared them exactly this way a few weeks ago with the ingredients I had in my fridge and I liked the idea so much, I decided to prepare it again to show you the recipe. I hope you like it! 

INGREDIENTS

One sweet potato 

Two bunches of canned red beans

One small avocado

Fresh herbs, I had basil at home

4-5 cherry tomatoes

Extra virgin olive oil

Salt to taste

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Cut the sweet potato in two, and cover each piece with foil paper. Bake for about 30 min or until cooked. Transfer them to a dish. Remove a bit of the pulp and add the red beans. 

Cut the cherrys into 4 pieces and mash the avocado. Add a bit of olive oil and salt and then, add this to the sweet potato. 

Last, finely chop the basil leaves or another fresh herb of your preference such as parsley or coriander. Serve this stuffed sweet potato with red beans and… Buon appetito!
