I love sweet potatoes. I also love STUFFED sweet potatoes. They are honestly the easiest and quickest meals I can think to make and they’re made with all fresh and healthy ingredients. I already shared this recipe a few months back, but I also wanted to share another stuffed sweet potato that I make all the time. This recipe is a cooked sweet potato topped with black beans, arugula, and a fried egg. If you microwave the sweet potato, the whole meal can be made in under ten minutes. YUP, you heard me: 10 minutes to make a nutritious, healthy, and filling dinner that DOESN’T come from a box or contain processed ingredients. It’s loaded with protein from both the egg and the black beans. I love the combination of egg and sweet potatoes (see this recipe!), and this one doesn’t disappoint. The spicy arugula takes it to a whole other level! I eat this as my main dish and serve it with a side salad, but I do occasionally add a small piece of fish or chicken for my husband. However you decide to make it, you won’t be disappointed!
