Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C), or use a microwave to speed things up.

  2. 2

    Cube the sweet potato and toss with the olive oil, cumin and paprika. Roast for 20 minutes, or microwave whole for 6–8 minutes until tender, then dice.

  3. 3

    Warm the black beans in a small pan with a splash of water.

  4. 4

    Slice the avocado and squeeze over the lime juice.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl with the roasted sweet potato, black beans and avocado, scattered with chopped coriander.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g coriander, ½ avocado and ½ tin of black beans. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
