I like to roast sweet potatoes in the oven, sometimes whole, sometimes cut into pieces and tossed in a mix of olive oil and salt.
Roasted sweet potato turned out to be fabulous with spicy black beans.
For the beans, I sauteed minced garlic in oil, then added some water and a big can of black beans. I seasoned from there with salt and cayenne and simmered for maybe twenty minutes.
I ended up eating the beans over the chunks of roasted sweet potato, which I would one hundred percent do again. It was so simple and so delicious.
