Healthy Black Bean Jacket Potatoes

Pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Place them in the microwave and cook on high for 4 minutes. Tip: If you don’t have a microwave they will take an extra 15-20 minutes in the oven.

Rub the sweet potatoes in half of the olive oil and place on a lined oven tray. Cook in the oven for 40 minutes.

Heat the remaining olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and cumin and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the carrot and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, black beans, coriander stems and water to the pan, bring to the boil, then remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
