Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/8 tsp low-sodium salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cumin, ground
  • 1/2 cup black beans, cooked
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup brown rice, cooked
  • 1/2 Tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potato with olive oil, salt, pepper, and teaspoon cumin. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, flipping halfway through.
  • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the brown rice according to package instructions (2 tablespoons uncooked will yield about 1/4 cup cooked).
  • Assemble the bowl: In a serving bowl, add cooked brown rice, roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices.
  • Make the dressing: Drizzle the bowl with 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice.
  • Storage: This bowl can be assembled and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to eat, it can be served cold or reheated.
