Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

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

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 lime, juiced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional toppings: salsa, sliced jalapeños, or feta cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

      Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

        Heat Black Beans: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, in a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the black beans until heated through. Stir in lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

          Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa or brown rice as the base. Top with a generous portion of roasted sweet potatoes, warmed black beans, diced red bell pepper, and diced avocado.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and any additional toppings you desire, such as salsa or feta cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
