Info and tips for BBQ ranch sweet potato bowl

Since this recipe is part of my “College Cooks” series. I do have some tips if you want to cut down on time and make it easier:

• Buy frozen sweet potatoes and just pop them in the oven so you don’t have to cut them yourself!
• Buy a rotisserie chicken and shred so you don’t have to worry about dealing with raw chicken
• Use your favourite canned beans. I used Bush’s Sidekicks (the southwest zest pinto beans). I found them absolutely delicious, but use what you want here 🙂 Beans are a great way to add a little extra protein and fiber.

This recipe works great if you’d like to meal prep! Just store the coleslaw separately as the dressing can make everything else quite soggy.

Equipment

You can also roast the sweet potatoes in the airfryer instead of the oven. I recommend this Ninja one, it’s my favourite!
