Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. While the sweet potatoes roast, warm the black beans and corn in a small saucepan over medium heat. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Prepare brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked.
  5. Once sweet potatoes are done, assemble the bowls: start with a base of brown rice or quinoa, then layer roasted sweet potatoes, black beans and corn mixture.
  6. Top with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, crumbled feta cheese, and a squeeze of lime juice.
  7. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For extra protein, add grilled chicken or tofu, or spice it up with a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of chili flakes.
