    Ingredients

    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Prick sweet potatoes all over with a sharp knife. Place in a microwave-safe container and microwave on high for 10 minutes, or until soft.

    2 When cool enough to handle, cut a long opening into the top of each sweet potato, being careful to leave ends uncut. Using a tea towel to hold sweet potato, scoop out centres, leaving 1cm-thick shells.

    3 Place sweet potato flesh in a bowl and season with pepper. Mash with a fork. Stir in spring onion, chilli (if using), kidney beans and half the coriander. Spoon the filling back into sweet potato shells. Sprinkle with grated cheese.

    4 Place sweet potatoes on prepared tray. Bake for 10 minutes, or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining coriander and serve.

    HFG tip

    • To bake sweet potatoes (instead of microwaving), preheat oven to 180°C. Place sweet potatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with a little oil and bake for 45 minutes, or until tender. Set aside to cool slightly before continuing from step 2.
    • To make this a more substantial meal, add 450g coleslaw mix, dressed with 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar.
    • To up the protein, add more cheese, or serve with a small lean steak.
