Ingredients
Baked Purple Sweet Potato Ingredients
- 2 medium sized purple sweet potatoes washed and dried
- 1-2 tsp avocado oil
- sea salt and cracked pepper
Ground Chicken Ingredients
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- ½ red onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 398 ml canned butter beans drained and rinsed
- ½ tsp salt
- cracked pepper to taste
Add-ons Ingredients
- cottage cheese
- sliced avocado
- chili crunch
- flaky salt
- cracked pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Generously prick the potatoes all over with a fork.
- Coat potatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes or until soft in the middle.
- Once soft, set aside to cool slightly to make it safer/easier to handle.
- In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and saute for several minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add ground chicken. Break the chicken up with a spatula and cook until it is no longer pink. Season with spices and a pinch of salt.
- Make a hole in the middle for the tomato paste. Cook off the paste for 1-2 minutes before adding crushed tomatoes. Allow the mixture to cook for several minutes before adding butter beans. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, taste for seasoning and remove from heat. Cover if your pan has a lid.
- Once potatoes have cooled enough to work with (be careful, the insides will still be piping hot!), slice down the middle of the potato. Use a fork to press the potato down.
- Scoop (with your heart)chicken/butterbean mixture onto the potatoes.
- Add a scoop of cottage cheese and sliced avocado on top. Spoon some chili oil on top and season with flaky salt.
