So this is supposed to be a side, but I figured, if you throw it on a potato, it's now a meal. It's also great to do a side as dinner here and there since the hubby is a meat eater, and he can easily enjoy his protein as is.

Ingredients
4 sweet #potatoes
1 lb #BrusselsSprouts, thinly sliced
3 tsp olive oil divided
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 red #BellPepper, seeded & diced
2 garlic cloves minced
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 14 oz can black #beans, drained & rinsed
3/4 cup #corn kernels
1 tbsp lime juice
3 tbsp minced cilantro
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425º F. On a baking sheet, prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Bake until tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
Meanwhile prep the sprouts (maybe 30 minutes into the potatoes baking). Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat.
Add the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the sliced Brussels sprouts. Cook until the Brussels sprouts are bright green and just tender, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the black beans, corn, lime juice and cilantro. Warm through for about a minute.
Remove sweet potatoes from oven, and cut a slit down the middle of each potato. Pile the sprouts on top. If you're a dairy eater, maybe put on a dollop of sour cream. In retrospect, some avocado crema could have been nice...
In any case, plate and enjoy!
