Ingredients
  

Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 sweet potatoes washed, peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Black Beans

  • 1 19 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pinch garlic powder

Avocado Aioli

  • 2 ripe avocados peeled and diced
  • 1-3 cloves of garlic to taste. Add one clove at a time. Sometimes garlic is bland, other times it's downright 'kick-in-the-teeth' strong.

  • 2 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Optional : Diced scallions and arugula

    Instructions
     

    Sweet potatoes

    • Preheat oven at 420°
      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

    • Heat oil in small pot over medium heat. Sauté beans with chilli powder, paprika, garlic powder and salt for 5 minutes.

    Avocado Aioli

    • 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).
