Spicy Black Eyed Pea Nourish Bowls
Description
Spicy Black Eyed Pea Nourish Bowls combine smoky Instant Pot-cooked black-eyed peas and greens with roasted sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are halved lengthwise, coated lightly with oil, and baked until tender and caramelized on the edges, providing a soft, sweet base. Topping these are black-eyed peas and greens, slow-cooked to develop a rich smoky flavor.
The addition of mango habanero hot sauce delivers a spicy, fruity kick that contrasts with the mellow sweetness of the potatoes and the earthiness of the beans. The hot sauce can be homemade or store-bought, and its zesty heat balances the dish well.
This recipe works well for meal prep as the black-eyed peas and greens can be cooked in advance and frozen, then reheated. Sweet potatoes are best baked fresh to preserve texture, and the combination makes a hearty, balanced meal.
The recipe notes highlight that preparation and cooking times include making the black-eyed peas and hot sauce, and the nutritional estimates are based on the lower amount of hot sauce for calorie calculations.
Ingredients
- 1 batch black-eyed peas smoky flavor, Instant Pot style
- 1 batch greens smoky flavor, Instant Pot style
- 4 medium (~2/3 lb each) sweet potato halved lengthwise
- 1-2 tsp olive oil omit if oil-free, or avocado oil
- 4-8 Tbsp mango habanero hot sauce or sub store-bought, zesty
Instructions
- BLACK EYED PEAS: If you haven’t already prepared a batch of Smoky Instant Pot Black Eyed Peas & Greens, do so at this time. It can be prepared up to 3-4 days in advance or (our preferred method) stored in the freezer and reheated for quick weeknight-friendly meals. If using frozen, transfer them to the fridge 24 hours before serving or defrost in warm water or the microwave.
- SWEET POTATOES: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and transfer to a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little oil (if avoiding oil, omit and use parchment paper) and massage to coat. Place potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until caramelized on the edges and when you press on the top of the potatoes, they have a little give.
- HOT SAUCE: Prepare Zesty Mango Habanero Hot Sauce if not using store-bought (we recommend homemade for best flavor). It can be made up to 2 weeks in advance (or longer if stored in the freezer).
- If your Smoky Instant Pot Black Eyed Peas & Greens are in the refrigerator, reheat them at this time in a large pot over medium heat or in the microwave.
- To assemble nourish bowls, divide sweet potatoes and warmed black eyed peas between serving bowls and top with 1-2 Tbsp (15-30 ml) hot sauce per bowl.
- Best when fresh. Store leftover ingredients separately in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days. Black eyed peas and hot sauce are freezer friendly up to 1-2 months.
Notes
- The black-eyed peas and greens can be cooked up to 3-4 days ahead or frozen for convenience.
- If frozen, thaw the black-eyed peas and greens in the refrigerator for 24 hours or use warm water or microwave for quicker defrosting.
- The mango habanero hot sauce can be made up to 2 weeks in advance or frozen for longer storage.
- Omitting oil on the sweet potatoes is possible by using parchment paper during baking.
