Roasted stuffed sweet potatoes with chipotle quinoa
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 1 tbsp avocado oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1/2 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 cup quinoa (cooked)
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup low sodium vegetable broth (or water works too)
- 2 tbsp chipotles in adobo, chopped
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup cheese of choice
Quick guacamole
- 1 avocado
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 large handful cilantro, chopped
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Place the potatoes in the oven and let cook until tender, about 40-50 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, prepare the stuffing
- Heat the avocado oil in a non-stick pan on medium-high heat.
- Add the onions and let cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
- Next, add the garlic, quinoa, black beans, tomato paste, vegetable broth, chipotles, chilli powder, cumin powder, salt and pepper and mix all together.
- Let cook until no liquid is remaining.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven, cut in half, and scoop out the potato to make space for the stuffing. (I scoop out about 1/2 the potato and leave the rest)
- Stuff the potatoes with the quinoa filling and top with cheese.
- Place in the oven under the broiler for 1 minute, or back in the oven at 400 degrees for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- To make the quick guacamole, scoop the avocado into a bowl with the lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper and mash together.
- Scoop some guacamole on top of each potato to serve.
