Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Broccoli and Black Beans
A great meal prep option for those busy weeks. Only 5 ingredients needed and 5 minutes of prep!
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 8 oz broccoli frozen or fresh (cut into bite size pieces if using fresh)
- 15 oz black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Sweet Potato
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes. Cut in half lengthwise. Rub olive oil on flat side of sweet potato. Add salt and pepper.
- Place the sweet potato, flat side down, on a baking sheet. Cook for 35 minutes, checking it after about 25 minutes. (You want the potato soft enough where it would be very simple to mash).
The Rest
- Roast the broccoli on the same cooking sheet as the sweet potatoes. Just drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper on top, mix it around and cook at the same temperature as the sweet potatoes. Check the broccoli periodically to make sure you don't burn it.
- Warm black beans in a pot before serving. Add a little bit of water so the beans don't stick to the pan. (If you are making this as a meal prep option, you can skip this step).
- Once everything has finished cooking, combine and serve immediately.
- Optional: Top with avocado and a pinch of sea salt.
- For meal prep: divide the ingredients evenly among 4 glass storage containers (1/2 sweet potato in each container). Warm before eating and add a side salad to get in extra greens!
