Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes, unpeeled and chopped (2 lb before peeling)
• 1 onion, diced
• 1/2 tsp salt, and optional pepper
• 3 tbsp oil, or spray (for fat-free option)
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 can black beans, or 1 1/2 cups cooked
• optional 1 cup canned or cooked corn
• 3/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (omit if desired)

Directions

1. Toss sweet potatoes and onions with 1 1/2 tbsp oil (or spray) and the garlic, sprinkle with salt and optional pepper, and arrange in a single layer on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Place in a non-preheated oven on the center rack, then turn the oven to 450 F. Bake 35 minutes, or until potatoes are soft. Add all remaining ingredients to a large bowl, then toss with the sweet potatoes. Serve hot or cold.
