Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While potatoes roast, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add black beans, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
- In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, adding a little water to thin if necessary.
- Assemble the bowls: divide rice between bowls, top with roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, red onion, feta cheese (if using), and drizzle with avocado-lime dressing.
- Serve immediately or store components separately for meal prep.
Notes
- Use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier grain base.
- Feta cheese can be omitted for a vegan version.
- The avocado dressing doubles as a great dip or salad dressing.
- Roasted veggies and dressing can be prepped ahead for easy meals during the week.
