Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 bunch broccolini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until edges are crispy and potatoes are tender.
- While potatoes are roasting, prepare the black beans. In a medium skillet, heat beans with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.
- Trim the ends of the broccolini. In the same skillet used for beans, sauté broccolini with a drizzle of olive oil for 4-5 minutes until bright green and slightly charred.
- Once sweet potatoes are roasted, transfer to a food processor. Add tahini, white miso paste, a pinch of salt, and blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
- To assemble, spread whipped sweet potato mixture in serving bowls. Top with spiced black beans and roasted broccolini.
- Garnish with optional toppings like toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or a drizzle of extra tahini if desired.
Tips
- Choose firm, orange-fleshed sweet potatoes for the most vibrant color and sweetest flavor.
- For extra smoothness in your whipped sweet potatoes, ensure they're completely tender before blending.
- Use a high-speed food processor or blender to achieve that ultra-creamy texture.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when roasting sweet potatoes—this ensures crispy edges.
- For added protein, consider adding tofu or chickpeas alongside the black beans.
- If you can't find white miso paste, brown miso works as a substitute with a slightly stronger flavor.
- Toast your sesame seeds briefly in a dry pan to enhance their nutty aroma before garnishing.
