Method:
- Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees and line your baking dish with paper.

- Meanwhile heat the oil in a medium sized skillet and cook onions and garlic until translucent.
- Add your spices and prepped kale and cook until soft.

To prepare your Sauce:
- In a food processor mix avocado, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper and nutritional yeast until well combined and creamy.
- Transfer to a little bowl, add your thinly sliced spring onions and parsley and combine.
To assemble:
- Half your baked sweet potatoes lengthwise and scoop out some of the sweet potato flash to make room for kale-black beans stuffing. (Be sure to keep the spooned out sweet potatoes to make sweet potato brownies or other delicious sweet potato goodness).
- Fill your sweet potato with the kale-black bean mixture.
- Top with your fresh avocado goodness sauce.
