Serves: 2

Ingredients

• • Two large-sized sweet potatoes, washed.
  • Two cups of canned black beans. Canned beans are flavourful, contain no salt and are available in BPA-free cans.
  • One and a half cups of spinach/kale, washed and chopped.
  • Half cup of hummus. Make sure the hummus contains olive oil and is sodium-free.
  • One-fourth teaspoon of black pepper.

How to Prepare

• • Prick sweet potatoes from all over the sides and microwave for around 8-10 minutes.
  • In a pan, add spinach and cook until the leaves are saggy.
  • Add canned black beans and water (if required) and cook the mixture until steaming hot.
  • Canned beans are precooked, so there is no need to cook the mixture for longer.
  • Take a plate and place microwaved sweet potatoes.
  • Split them open.
  • Top with the spinach and black bean mixture.
  • Decorate with hummus dressing. If the hummus is too thick, add a bit of water to make the consistency a bit looser.
  • Serve hot.

Instructions

• If salt-free canned beans are not available, you can rinse the beans before cooking to reduce the amount of salt.
