- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Prick the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork and place half in the microwave. Cook for 12 mins on high* until beginning to soften. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
- Transfer to a shallow baking tray and bake for 15-20 mins until soft and crisp.
- Mix the black beans, avocado, tomatoes, sweetcorn and salad cheese in a bowl. Add most of the coriander and season. In a separate bowl, mix the lime juice, spices, garlic and oil.
- Split 4 cooked sweet potatoes and spoon over the bean salsa. Drizzle over the lime dressing and scatter over the seeds, then scatter with the remaining coriander to serve.
- Leave the other cooked potatoes to cool, then chill for 2-3 days for use in our calzones recipe (see tip, below).
- Tip: You can use the leftover cooked sweet potatoes in our herby sweet potato calzones.
