  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pinch garlic powder
Avocado Aioli

    Peel and cube 3 sweet potatoes. Toss lightly with oil and salt and roast for 30 – 40 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time.
Black Beans
  1. Heat oil in small pot over medium heat. Sauté beans with chilli powder, paprika, garlic powder and salt for 5 minutes.
Avocado Aioli
  1. Blend all ingredients in high speed blender until smooth. Adjust garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
Combine sweet potatoes and beans in a serving bowl, drizzle with aioli and garnish with arugula and scallions (if using).
