Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into fry shapes

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half

1 cup corn (either canned or frozen)

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)

2 green onions, chopped

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for effortless cleanup.

    In a sizable bowl, combine the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, tossing until every fry is thoroughly coated.

      Evenly distribute the seasoned sweet potato fries on the lined baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to achieve the best crispiness.

        Place the fries in the preheated oven and bake for around 25-30 minutes. Flip them halfway through baking to ensure they cook uniformly and turn a lovely golden brown.

          While the fries bake, get started on the toppings. In a medium bowl, mix together the black beans, cherry tomatoes, and corn. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if you like.

            Once the fries are perfectly crisp, take them out of the oven. Layer the black bean mixture on top, followed by the diced avocado and shredded cheese.

              Put the loaded fries back in the oven for an extra 5-7 minutes, until the cheese has melted and is bubbling.

                Once done, remove from the oven and drizzle with Greek yogurt or sour cream. Top with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro if you’re using it.

                  Serve right away and savor your cozy, loaded sweet potato fries with a nutritious twist!
