Super Flavorful 5-Ingredient Mango, Sweet Potato Bowl

Total time to make: 30 mins (most of this is time for the sweet potatoes to bake)

Notes: The quantity of each ingredient can be adjusted depending on your hunger and preference.  I always recommend making extra, so that if you’re hungry a few hours after eating this, you can just go back and have another bowl full without having to prep anything!  This is a great way to avoid snacking on packaged and processed food.

INGREDIENTS

1 x can black beans

1 x ripe mango

1 x ripe avocado

1/2 x red onion

1 x medium to large-sized sweet potato (or more!)

optional extras: chili flakes, sea salt, a splash of lime juice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wash and dice up the sweet potato into approx. 1-centimeter cubes.  Place them on a baking sheet/tray and bake in the oven at 450f (232 Celsius) for 25 minutes or until lightly browning on the outside.

2. dice up half of the red onion, the mango, and avocado and add them into a large mixing bowl.

3. Open the can of black beans, rinse them, and either microwave them for 1 minute or warm them up in a pan on the stovetop on medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring so they don’t stick.

4. Once the sweet potatoes are ready, add them and the black beans to the rest of the ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix them all together well.  Add chili flakes and sea salt and enjoy!
