I have been making these loaded sweet potato fries for years now and I just keep coming back to them! They contain lots of fibre, micronutrients from the vegetables and protein from the beans. Adding avocado will also provide you with a source of healthy fats.

Ingredients  

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into sticks
• 400 ml can of black beans, drained and rinsed
• ½ cup corn (I used frozen)
• ½ cup white cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper

Optional toppings

• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• Avocado as a source of healthy fats
• Jalapenos

Instructions 

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Toss the sweet potato sticks with the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika and season with salt and pepper to taste. 
3. Place the sweet potatoes in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the oven. Flip the sweet potatoes. Layer the beans and corn over the sweet potatoes and return to the oven for 15 minutes.
5. Remove the pan from the oven once again and add the cheese. Return to the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
6. Remove from the oven and top with sliced green onions, avocado and jalapenos if using.
7. Enjoy!
