Description

Enjoy a quick, easy, and delicious vegan, gluten-free weeknight meal with nutritious sweet potatoes, black beans, and a fabulous Southwestern sauce!


Ingredients

Scale

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

1/81/4 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!
