Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and rub them lightly with half the olive oil and a pinch of salt.

2

Bake the sweet potatoes on a lined tray for 45-50 minutes, until tender when pierced with a knife.

3

Near the end of the baking time, heat the remaining olive oil in a pan and sauté the chopped red onion for 2-3 minutes until soft.

4

Add the drained white beans, spinach, paprika powder, and salt. Cook for 2 minutes until the spinach wilts, then reduce the heat to low.

5

Pour in the egg whites and stir gently, scrambling them with the bean mixture until just set, about 2-3 minutes.

6

Slice each baked sweet potato open lengthwise, fluff the flesh with a fork, and spoon the egg white and bean filling over the top.

7

Serve warm, seasoning with extra black pepper or fresh herbs if desired.
