How to make this recipe
Before you begin, pre-heat your oven to 200°c.
Chop your sweet potatoes into chips or wedges lengthways. Grab a large bowl and throw in the sweet potatoes and mix together with vegetable oil, cornflour, and herbs & spices, and season to taste. Toss everything together to combine.
Pour the spiced sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet (you may need 2 baking sheets) and spread out. Bake in the hot oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, until soft. Turn in between to ensure an even cook.
Once your sweet potatoes are soft, remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle over the black beans and some vegan cheese (if using) over the chips on the tray. Bake for 5 more minutes or until the vegan cheese melts and the beans are warm.
Transfer the sweet potatoes and black beans onto a large serving platter and load up with the chopped tomatoes, sliced avocados, spring onions, and fresh coriander. Finish with a drizzle of vegan mayonnaise, sliced fresh chillies and lime wedges for the perfect crowd-pleasing sharing dish.

Notes
- You can make this recipe with normal potatoes too! My favourites are Maris Piper for how soft they are. These potatoes would benefit from parboiling to help them cook a bit faster and become more soft in the oven.
- Try my creamy vegan nacho cheese as an alternative to store bought vegan cheese.
- Loaded fries have endless options for toppings, so try this out with different kinds of beans!

Made this for dinner this evening…so good! Perfect quick, yet nutritious summer dinner. This will definitely be going into the rotation! We are not vegan, but love your recipes and find ourselves eating a diet that is increasing more plant based. Warm wishes from the US!

I’ve been watching you for months and wanting to make meal changes but was so afraid. I know…. Afraid of fruit, veggies, and herbs?! In my defense, I’ve also not cooked much generally speaking, but make the same few dishes over and over. Well…. Instead of making an entire meal plan for weeks and doing a big shopping trip, I finally told myself to make just one thing! It was this! This is the first recipe I made! Tonight! We loved it! I couldn’t get spring onions (so I chopped up a small onion) or the cilantro, but I made it per your recipe in every other way. It was so good! All of the tastes were wonderful! Thank you so much!

Hi Madeleine. Looks yummy and I have all the ingredients except cornflour. What could I replace it with?
