LOADED SWEET POTATOES WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHEDDAR
To make a halved sweet potato into a more substantial side, load it with black beans and sharp Cheddar, then send it back into the oven until the cheese melts and sizzles. Pair it with something a bit lighter, like fish tacos or a green salad, or build it into its own meal by adding sliced avocado, torn cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, or even a fried egg.

SWEET POTATOES AND BLACK BEANS
This might not be for "everyone"...but we have found it curiously yummy for a week night meal without meat. If you love sweet potatoes and want to try them in a savory mix of black beans, rice and cumin...then come on! If you want a richer sauce, add 1 T. butter to the orange juice mixture.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
- Prick the sweet potatoes: This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes, but they should be tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will make them easier to peel and cut.
- Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro has a brighter flavor than dried cilantro. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried cilantro.
- Rinse the black beans: This will remove any excess salt or starch.
- Use a flavorful cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese or a queso fresco cheese will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato dish is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is also a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. The combination of sweet potatoes, black beans, cilantro, and cheese is flavorful and satisfying. This dish is also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
