Ingredients
- 4 small/medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cob corn
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup hummus see notes
- ¼ cup black beans
- ¼ cup diced cherry tomatoes
- A sprinkle of diced red onion and cilantro
- ½ lime
Instructions
- Place the sweet potatoes in a medium-sized pot and fill it with water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat then reduce the heat and simmer the sweet potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just soft. Do not let them overcook or they will be watery.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the pot and when they are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Once they've stopped steaming, drizzle them with the oil and sprinkle with the sea salt.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high - see notes. Place the sweet potatoes on the grill, cut side down. Pop the corn on the BBQ, too. Grill both for 10 minutes, turning the corn a few times (but not the sweet potatoes) until they both have grill marks on them.
- Remove the corn and sweet potatoes from the BBQ. When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut off the kernels. Divide the hummus between the grilled sweet potato halves and top with the remaining toppings and a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes
- If your BBQ grill tends to be sticky make sure to oil the grate well or use a BBQ mat.
