Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp cumin

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Step 4: While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the lime dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, olive oil, and cumin until well combined.
  5. Step 5: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and black beans. Toss gently to mix.
  6. Step 6: Assemble the bowls by dividing the quinoa and black bean mixture evenly among four bowls.
  7. Step 7: Top each bowl with roasted sweet potatoes and sliced avocado.
  8. Step 8: Drizzle the lime dressing over the bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of crumbled feta or cotija cheese. You can also swap quinoa for brown rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
