A colourful and a substantial bowl of goodness packed with textures and interesting flavours. We love the crispy, caramelised sweet potatoes and the crunchy kale in this recipe. ❄️ If freezing this recipe, we recommend freezing just the chipotle black beans and roasted sweet potatoes. The crispy kale and avocado are best made and added fresh.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/180°C fan and line a baking tray with foil. Dice the sweet potatoes and place them into the tray along with half of the chipotle paste. Drizzle with a little oil and season with salt before placing the tray into the oven to cook for 30 minutes.

Step 2

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, place a large frying pan or sauté pan onto the hob and add the remaining oil. Add the chopped garlic and onion and cook for 5-6 minutes. Now add the remaining chipotle paste, 2/3rd of the chopped tomatoes and the drained black beans. Season well with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar and bring to a simmer. Allow the tomatoes to cook and the liquid to reduce for 5 minutes, stirring regularly until the beans thicken.

Step 3

Prepare the avocado by cutting in in half, carefully removing the stone and scooping out the flesh using a spoon. Slice each half into 8 slices. Remove the sweet potato tray from the oven and scatter over the kale. Place the tray back into the oven to allow the kale to roast for 10 minutes until slightly crispy.

Step 4

Once the kale is crispy and the sweet potatoes cooked through you are ready to serve. Spoon the cooked beans into bowls and add the sweet potatoes and crispy kale. Add the sliced avocado, crumble on the feta and serve with the remaining diced tomatoes.
