Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and pierce sweet potatoes with a fork. Rub with olive oil and place on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 45 minutes or until fork-tender.
  4. In a bowl, mix black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  5. Once the sweet potatoes are slightly cooled, slice open and fluff the insides with a fork.
