Baked Beans With Sweet Potatoes And Chipotles Recipes

BAKED SWEET POTATOES & BEANS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork, then cook them in the microwave on High for 8 mins or until soft. Rub with 1 tsp of the paprika, 1 tsp of the oil and some seasoning. Transfer to a baking tray, put in the oven and cook for 10-15 mins until crispy.
• Meanwhile, make the beans. Cook the onion in the remaining oil until soft. Add the garlic, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and the remaining paprika, and cook for a further 1-2 mins until sticky. Tip in the beans, tomatoes and a splash of water, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are ready.
• Serve the sweet potatoes with the beans on top, a dollop of soured cream and a pinch of paprika, if you like.

CHIPOTLE BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat an oven-safe pot over medium-high heat and cook the bacon for 4-5 minutes or until halfway cooked through. Do not cook the bacon all the way.
• Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes or until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for 20 seconds.
• Add the brown sugar, chipotle sauce, vinegar, beans, and water. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place the bacon pieces on top of the beans.

SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE AND CHIPOTLES

• Meanwhile, combine syrup, sour cream or crème fraîche, chipotle purée, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
• When potatoes are tender, remove from oven and slice in two lengthwise. Scoop hot flesh into a potato ricer or food mill, and purée into bowl with other ingredients.

LOADED SWEET POTATOES WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Halve sweet potatoes lengthwise, then brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt.
• Place cut side down on prepared sheet and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Take sweet potatoes out of the oven, turn them over and let cool slightly. Use a fork to rough up the flesh and slightly flatten the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide half the cheese among the potato halves. Spoon the black beans over them, then cover with the remaining cheese. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the beans have warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
