Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, diced

2 cups cooked quinoa (or rice if preferred)

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

    Sauté the Vegetables: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

      Combine Black Beans and Corn: Stir in the black beans and corn to the skillet, allowing them to heat through for another 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Prepare Quinoa: If you haven’t done so already, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and set aside.

          Assemble the Bowls: In a serving bowl, add a scoop of quinoa as the base. Top with a generous portion of the roasted sweet potatoes, the sautéed vegetables, and black bean mixture.

            Garnish and Serve: Top each bowl with slices of avocado and a sprinkling of fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side to drizzle over the bowls just before eating.

              Enjoy your hearty and nutritious Sweet Potato Black Bean Bowls!
