• 4 sweet potatoes

• 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

• 260g (9.1oz) black beans

• 150g (5.3oz) cherry tomatoes, chopped • 80g (2.8oz) corn

• 7g coriander, chopped

• 15g (0.5oz) red onion, diced

• 1 clove garlic, diced

• ½ lime, juiced

• 2 tsp olive oil • ¼ tsp sea salt • Pinch pepper • Pinch chili flakes

For the vegan sour cream (to drizzle):

• 80g (2.8oz) coconut yoghurt

1 Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.

Using a fork, poke small holes in the sweet potatoes going all the way round, about 1-inch apart. Line baking tray with parchment paper, and paint sweet potatoes with oil to lightly coat. Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour, or until fork tender. (See Top Tip to check for doneness.) 2 In a bowl, combine the black beans, tomato, corn, coriander, red onion and garlic. Drizzle with the lime juice and olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper and chili flakes. Mix to combine.

3 Prepare easy guacamole: Mash avocado in a bowl with lime juice and a pinch of sea salt.

4 Prepare vegan sour cream: In a separate bowl mix together coconut yoghurt, lime juice and sea salt.

5 Cut sweet potatoes in half and fill with black bean medley. Top with easy guacamole and drizzle with vegan sour cream.
