Instructions
For the Sweet Potatoes:
- 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

For the Filling:
- 4. While the sweet potatoes roast, combine the rinsed black beans, lime juice, cumin, paprika, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- Assembly:
- 5. Once roasted, let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before cutting them open lengthwise. Fluff the insides gently with a fork and spoon in the seasoned black bean mixture.
- 6. Add slices of avocado on top of each stuffed sweet potato. Optionally, squeeze additional lime juice over for extra flavor.
- 7. Transfer to plates and enjoy this delightful meal warm!
