Sweet Potato Green Supreme
This could possibly be my favourite all time vegetarian entree—sweet flavours meet savoury greens and meaty black beans. And aside from the sweet potatoes cooking in the oven, it is also the fastest. Loaded in fiber, beta carotene, Vitamin C, protein, calcium and crazy antioxidants, this is by far the easiest and yummiest way to add nutrient punch to your day. Also works great as leftovers. Hello lunchy.

- Scrub sweet potatoes, dry and wrap in tin foil. Poke a couple holes in foil with a fork. Throw in hot oven for an hour until soft.
- Sautee onion and garlic until translucent. Add red pepper and cook until soft, but still crunchy—5 minutes.
