Ingredients 

  • 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and spiralized
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 small onion, peeled, cut in half, and thinly sliced into half-moon shapes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 small jalapeño or serrano chile pepper, diced
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained, 1 can
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Place sweet potato noodles on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil until slightly softened and brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • In a small custard cup or bowl, mix together cumin, chili powder, and coriander.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and chile pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add corn, garlic, and cumin mixture to skillet. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 5 more minutes.
  • Add sweet potatoes, black beans, and water to skillet. Cook, gently tossing, until beans are warm and noodles are tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

No spiralizer? Look for pre-cut sweet potato noodles in the produce section of your grocery store.
Too many carbs? Leave out the corn or black beans.
Don't like spicy food? Replace the chile pepper with some green bell pepper.
