Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Prick the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork and place half in the microwave. Cook for 12 mins on high* until beginning to soften. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
  2. Transfer to a shallow baking tray and bake for 15-20 mins until soft and crisp.
  3. Mix the black beans, avocado, tomatoes, sweetcorn and salad cheese in a bowl. Add most of the coriander and season. In a separate bowl, mix the lime juice, spices, garlic and oil.
  4. Split 4 cooked sweet potatoes and spoon over the bean salsa. Drizzle over the lime dressing and scatter over the seeds, then scatter with the remaining coriander to serve.
  5. Leave the other cooked potatoes to cool, then chill for 2-3 days for use in our calzones recipe (see tip, below).

*Timings are based on a 900W microwave and will vary depending on your device.

Tip: You can use the leftover cooked sweet potatoes in our herby sweet potato calzones.
