Mexican beans in a roasted sweet potato boat, topped with fresh kale slaw and finished with garlic aioli
1. Set oven to 220C. Halve sweet potatoes lengthways. Rub with 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Roast cut-side down for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
2. Heat a large frypan with 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Dice onion, add to pan as you go. Grate in carrot, stir in 1 tbsp cumin and 1 tbsp paprika. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, or until fragrant.
3. Stir in beans and 3/4 cup water. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer for 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Crush garlic clove. Combine with yoghurt and 1 tsp cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Dice avocado and tomato. Toss all together with kaleslaw and 1 tbsp olive oil.
6. Divide sweet potatoes between plates. Use a fork to press down the middle of each one, making a cavity. Fill with beans, top with fresh topping and serve with aioli.
NOTES
You could also cut the sweet potatoes into rounds and use the toppings to make sweet potato nachos!
