Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes

4 large eggs

1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 avocado, sliced (for topping)

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Rub them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

      Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for about 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

        While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the diced red onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

          Add the diced bell peppers and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until everything is heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

            Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Carefully slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out a small part of the flesh to create a well for the eggs.

              Lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Place the sweet potato halves back on the baking sheet.

                Crack an egg into each sweet potato half. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Spoon the black bean and bell pepper mixture around the egg.

                  Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.

                    Remove from the oven, top each boat with avocado slices, crumbled feta cheese if using, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
