Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 sweet potatoes, cubed
  • Lime wedges for garnish

Beans and Grains

  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (approximately 15 oz)
  • 2 cups cooked rice

Spices and Oils

  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Olive oil (about 2 tbsp for tossing sweet potatoes)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes in olive oil, cumin, paprika, and salt until evenly coated, ensuring each piece is well-seasoned.
  2. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to promote even cooking.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: Arrange 2 cups of cooked rice on serving plates or bowls. Top with the roasted sweet potatoes and drained black beans.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Finish each bowl with a squeeze of fresh lime juice from the lime wedges to add brightness and a subtle tang. Serve warm and enjoy!
