Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes cut into fries
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen and thawed, or canned and drained)
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup vegan shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 to 2 Tablespoons lime juice
- Salt to taste
- Vegan sour cream or avocado/guacamole for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with the olive oil, salt, chili powder, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender inside and lightly crisp on the edges.
- While the fries bake, combine the black beans, corn, red onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Stir, taste, adjust salt, and set aside.
- Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle the vegan shredded cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, until melted.
- Remove from the oven and spoon the bean and corn mixture over the fries.
- Top with vegan sour cream or avocado if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
- These are best served immediately.
- You can swap the black beans for pinto beans or add diced jalapeño for heat.
- To air fry the fries, cook them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway, then melt the cheese in the oven.
- Frozen sweet potato fries work too. Cook them according to the package directions.
