2 Pounds orange- or yellow/white-fleshed California sweet potatoes (3 to 4 medium) |
2 Tablespoons olive oil |
1 Teaspoon chili powder |
1 Teaspoon coarse salt, or more to taste |
1/4 Teaspoon pepper |
2 Cups shredded cheddar and pepper Jack cheese |
1 Cup black beans |
1 Cup corn, fresh or frozen (thawed) |
Scallions |
Cilantro |
Guacamole |
Pico de gallo |
Sour cream |
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Cut each sweetpotato lengthwise into 8 wedges (halve long wedges crosswise).
On a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss sweetpotatoes with oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Arrange wedges cut sides down and roast until browned and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add more salt to taste.
Top the sweetpotatoes with cheese, beans, and corn. Bake until the cheese is melted.
Top with scallions, cilantro, guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream and serve.
