Cheesy sweet potato goodness!
Course: Main Course
Keyword: Vegetarian
Calories: 346kcal

Ingredients

  • ½ small sweet potato or one of the small purple ones
  • 125 g can of four bean mix
  • 1 tbsp pesto
  • 1 spring onion chopped (optional)
  • 25 g grated cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220C. Meanwhile, prick the sweet potato with a fork and microwave on high for 4-6 minutes or until just soft. Halve lengthways and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Scoop out a little flesh to make a boat. Dice the flesh and place in a bowl. Stir in the beans, pesto and spring onion. Season to taste.
  • Put the potato boats on a baking tray and divide the bean mixture between them. Top with the cheese. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • You may be satisfied with just one half depending on the size of your sweet potato. Save the other for lunch tomorrow: they reheat beautifully.
  • If you're feeding others, 2-3 bariatric serves are equal to one regular, non-sleeved serve. Use the slider above to adjust the serving sizes you need.
