Instructions
For the Roasted Sweet Potatoes
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F), rack in the lower third.

Prepare your trays: Line two rimmed baking trays with foil, lightly brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer, then brush the tops with more olive oil.
-
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
-
Roast for 15–18 minutes, until the rounds are soft and golden underneath.

Cool slightly before topping.
For the Guacamole
-
Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
-
Mash with a fork, leaving some chunky pieces for texture.
-
Add corn, black beans, red onion, tomato, chillies (if using), coriander, cumin, and lime juice.
-
Season with salt and pepper, mix gently.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning, acidity, or spice if needed.
To Assemble
-
Top each sweet potato round with a generous spoonful of guacamole.
-
Garnish as you like: extra coriander, diced chillies, or a sprinkle of sweetcorn.

Serve immediately for the freshest flavour and best texture.
