Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C.
- Prick the sweet potatoes all over. Rinse under a tap, then place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for around 50 mins, depending on the size of your sweet potato, until soft in the centre.
- Meanwhile, mix the thinly sliced red onion with the juice ½ lime. Cut the remaining lime into wedges.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked and cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthways and scoop the soft middle into a bowl, reserving the crispy skins. Mash the sweet potato flesh with the finely chopped red onion, red pepper, half the coriander and half the cheese. Stir through the can of baked beans. Place the potato skins on a baking tray and spoon the mix back into the skins so they are generously stuffed. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 15 mins until golden and piping hot.
- Meanwhile, mix with Greek yogurt with half the remaining coriander and the lime zest.
- Serve the sweet potato skins (2 halves each) topped with a spoonful of yogurt, the quick pickled onion, remaining coriander, a wedge of lime. Serve with a side salad of rocket, cherry tomato, avocado and cucumber salad, drizzled with balsamic glaze.
