Stuffed Sweet Potato

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Yields: 2 servings

  • 2 medium sweet potato, scrubbed
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 cup kale, chopped
  • 1 cup black beans (1/2 cup dried beans, cooked)
  • 1/4 cup hummus
  • 2 tablespoons water
  1. Bake potatos

Poke potatoes all over with a fork. Rub skin of potatoes with a thin layer of oil. Bake in an oven at 350 degrees F (30 minutes), or on a barbeque over indirect heat (25 minutes). Turn a few times.

  1. Prepare filling

Wash kale and drain. Trim stems. Wilt kale in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add beans. Add water if pan becomes completely dry. Continue cooking covered until beans are heated through (2-3 minutes).

  1. Stuff potatos

Split potatoes and spread opening. Top with kale and bean mixture.

  1. Prepare dressing

While potato cools to a safe temperature, add hummus to a disk. Wisk in water until it reaches the desired consistency. Should be about the thickness of a pasta sauce.

  1. Serve

Serve as a side on a plate. Drizze with hummus dressing. Garnish with scallions or green onion, if desired.
