Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa (for base)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 avocado, sliced or mashed for guacamole
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • For Lime Crema: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, juice of 1 lime, pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While potatoes roast, prepare the lime crema: mix the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  5. Warm the black beans and corn slightly, if desired. Season lightly with salt.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice or quinoa among serving bowls. Top with a portion of the roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and corn.
  7. Add your desired toppings: salsa, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of the lime crema.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
