Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Adjust oven rack to center of oven.
- Place whole sweet potatoes on a sheet pan covered in foil or parchment, poke each a few times with a fork. Bake until fork tender, 40-45 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Switch oven from bake to broil.
- Meanwhile in a small bowl combine black beans with taco seasoning.
- Cut sweet potatoes in half and carefully scoop out flesh with a metal spoon, leaving about ¼-inch of flesh intact.*
- Place potatoes, skin side up back on the sheet pan, spray with olive oil, top with pinch salt and pepper, and broil for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove skins from oven, turn over and fill each with black beans, 1 tbsp salsa and 1 tbsp cheese then return to oven to broil 2 minutes more.
- Top with each skin with scallions and cilantro and eat right away.
Notes
* Weight of each skin after the potato is scooped out is about 1 1/2 ounces each.
