Baked sweet potatoes make a great midweek meal or a weekend brunch. They’re delicious topped with creamy beans, tangy cheese and nutty tahini, with a sharp green chile sauce to balance the richness.
I love how all the flavors work together here. There’s room to play with other ingredients you have to hand, such as hummus, toasted nuts and seeds, leftover grains and veggies.
This dish can be a meal alone, served with a fresh green salad or as a side. Serve it in the roasting dish and place it in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves.
