Ingredients
Scale
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp chili powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp lime juice
1 avocado, diced (for topping)
Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)
Salsa or hot sauce (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, combine the rinsed black beans, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble the bowls, divide cooked rice or quinoa among serving bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes and the black bean mixture.
Garnish with diced avocado and a dollop of salsa or a drizzle of hot sauce, if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, roast the sweet potatoes with a pinch of garlic powder.
You can prepare the black bean mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
Feel free to add other toppings like corn, shredded lettuce, or a dollop of plain yogurt.
