Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potatoes
  • 2-4 medium Sweet Potatoes These are the star of the show, providing a naturally sweet base.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Drizzle adds richness.
For the Toppings
  • 1 can Black Beans Packed with protein, substitute with chickpeas if desired.
  • 1 cup Corn Frozen corn works beautifully for convenience.
  • 1 medium Avocado Brings creaminess and healthy fats.
  • 1 cup Chopped Tomatoes Use canned tomatoes for ease.

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes under running water, pat them dry and prick each potato with a fork several times. Place them on the trivet inside the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water.
  2. Secure the lid, ensuring the steam release valve is closed. Set to cook on manual mode for 15 minutes at high pressure. Allow for a 10-minute natural release before switching the valve to release remaining pressure.
  3. While the sweet potatoes cook, rinse and drain the can of black beans and chop the fresh vegetables.
  4. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, slice each one open lengthwise, fluff the insides and drizzle with olive oil. Begin layering the toppings like black beans, corn, chopped tomatoes, and green onions.
  5. Top each sweet potato with avocado slices and sprinkle cheese if desired. Add fresh herbs or hot sauce for extra flavor.
  6. Plate while warm, garnishing with olive oil or Greek yogurt. Enjoy the explosion of flavor!
