4 small sweet potatoes

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork, then roast on a tray for 55 mins. Allow to cool a little, then halve and scoop the flesh into a bowl, reserving the skins.

Mix in the cherry tomatoes, most of the spring onions and half the coriander. Season with freshly ground black pepper, spoon back into the skins and bake for 15 mins.
3
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan on a medium setting, add the garlic and fry for 2 mins. Add the beans, sweetcorn, paprika, Cajun seasoning, chopped tomatoes and 100ml water. Stir, then simmer for 25 mins until thickened.
4
Spoon the beans over the sweet potatoes and top with the avocado. Sprinkle with the remaining spring onions and coriander, then serve with the lime slices on the side.
