Description
A delicious and nutritious Miso Tahini Whipped Sweet Potato Bowl topped with spiced beans and broccolini.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 bunch broccolini, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the spiced beans. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the black beans, smoked paprika, cumin, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Set aside.
- In the last 15 minutes of the sweet potatoes baking, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccolini and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Peel the skins off and place the flesh in a mixing bowl. Add tahini, miso paste, olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use a hand mixer or a fork to whip until smooth and creamy.
- To assemble the bowls, scoop a generous portion of the whipped sweet potato into each bowl. Top with spiced beans, blanched broccolini, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
- For added protein, consider topping the bowl with grilled chicken or tofu.
- You can substitute the broccolini with steamed spinach or kale for a different green option.
