Baked Sweet Potato

This is a great family dish or perfect for a dinner party. If you are lactose intolerant simply switch the dairy yoghurt to coconut and if any allergies then avoid topping the bake with nuts as I have done in the picture. This dish is balanced with slow releasing carbohydrates and healthy vegetarian protein! I like to use CHI Coconut Oil in my recipes (it's the best!)

Instructions:

• Poke holes in the potato with a fork, cook on your microwave’s potato setting until potatoes are soft and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes on high for 4 potatoes). If you don't have a microwave, bake about 45 minutes at 400°F.

• Add peppers, onions, chili powder, paprika, cumin and salt, cook until the onions have caramelized slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Add black beans, stir to combine and heat through (about another 5 minutes).
• Slice the potato lengthwise down the middle or as I did in the photo, use a fork to pierce the top in an oval shape, then remove the top of each potato.
• Top with 1/3 cup of black bean mixture, 2 tbsp Greek yogurt mixture and 2 tbsp salsa of sals.
