Sheet Pan Meal: Sweet Potato and Black Bean Hash

Serves 6

3 small-medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced small
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen, canned, or roasted corn kernels
3 Tablespoons, divided, extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 large red onion, or 1 small, diced
2 teaspoons taco seasoning mix (see note for substitute)

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425°F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet or coat with 1/2-to-1 tablespoon of the olive oil.

Place the sweet potatoes, bell pepper, black beans, corn, and red onion on the oiled baking sheet. Drizzle with the remainder of the olive oil, stir to coat, and then sprinkle with the taco seasoning (or spices–see note below) and minced garlic. Toss gently to combine.

Bake, stirring after 15 minutes, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
