Instructions
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and then prick them with a fork several times before placing them in the microwave for 10 minutes, turning halfway. Pre-heat the oven to 220C.
- Next place the sweet potatoes on a baking tray and coat an additional tablespoon of olive oil over them. Bake for a further 15 minutes.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes. Carefully halve the potatoes lengthways and scoop out the centre (leave a thin layer of potato around the skin) and set-aside for now, as well as the skins.
- Meanwhile place a large frying pan on a medium-high heat and add an additional teaspoon of oil. Once the oil is hot add the peppers and fry for a few minutes until softened, then add the red and spring onions for a further 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic to the frying pan alongside the black beans and sweetcorn, as well as the various spices and continue to fry for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the contents of the frying pan and pour over the sweet potato mash. Mix everything well and then place a generous scoop inside each sweet potato skin. Top with the cheese and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
