Ingredients:

1 sweet potato
130g
3/4 cup kale
50g
1/2 cup black beans
130g
1/4 cup hummus
60g
2 tbsp water
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Sweet Potato:
- Wash the sweet potato thoroughly.
- Prick it several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
3. Bake the Sweet Potato:
- Place the sweet potato on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
4. Prepare the Kale:
- While the sweet potato is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the kale to the skillet along with 2 tablespoons of water.
- Sauté the kale for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is wilted and tender.
- Set aside once done.
5. Warm the Black Beans:
- In a small saucepan, add the black beans and heat over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, or until warmed through. Stir occasionally.
- If preferred, you can season the beans with a pinch of salt or spices like cumin or chili powder.
6. Assemble the Stuffed Sweet Potato:
- Once the sweet potato is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice the sweet potato open lengthwise to create a pocket for the filling.
7. Fill the Sweet Potato:
- Start by adding the sautéed kale inside the sweet potato.
- Top with the warmed black beans.
- Finally, drizzle or dollop the hummus over the top of the beans.
8. Serve:
- Optionally, you can garnish with some additional toppings like chopped fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- Serve immediately while warm.

Tips:

- Ensure the sweet potato is fully cooked and tender before stuffing to make it easier to eat.

- For added flavor, season the kale with your favorite herbs and spices while sautéing.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili powder or red pepper flakes to the black beans.

- Use a flavored hummus, such as roasted red pepper or garlic, to enhance the taste profile.

- Consider roasting the sweet potato in the oven rather than microwaving for a slightly crispy skin.
