Enjoy a quick, easy, and delicious vegan, gluten-free weeknight meal with nutritious sweet potatoes, black beans, and a fabulous Southwestern sauce!
Ingredients
4 large sweet potatoes
1 T olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 15 oz. can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed drained
Sauce:
1/2 cup cashews, soaked in water for at least 2 hours (or overnight) or boiled for 10 minutes
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 small clove of garlic
1/8–1/4 tsp. chipotle powder
juice of 1/2 lime
Instructions
1.) Preheat the oven to 400°. Wash sweet potatoes and make a small slit at the top of each potato. Place directly on the oven racks or on a cookie sheet and roast for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
2.) To make the sauce, drain the cashews and place them in a food processor. Add vegetable broth, garlic, lime juice, and chipotle powder, and process until smooth. Add more vegetable broth if you like a thinner sauce and set aside.
3.) Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add black beans, drained can of diced tomatoes, and thawed corn and heat through.
4.) Once your sweet potatoes are done, widen the slit on the top and fluff with a fork. Equally, spoon the black bean mixture into each potato and drizzle the sauce over it and enjoy! You might have some leftover sauce that would be delicious on almost anything!
