Roasted Sweet Potato & Black Bean Bowls

Smoky roasted sweet potatoes, warm black beans, and lime yogurt make a colorful rice bowl.

Sweet potatoes and black beans make a useful starting point for a filling bowl. Roasting adds browned edges, while lime yogurt and avocado bring a cool contrast to the warm rice and smoky spices.

Cut the sweet potatoes into similar-size cubes so they finish together. Serve the toppings separately if everyone likes a different balance; an extra squeeze of lime is an easy way to brighten the whole bowl.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sweet potato cubes with the oil, cumin, paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon salt on a large rimmed sheet pan. Spread in one layer.

  2. 02

    Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender in the center and browned at the edges. Meanwhile, prepare rice according to its package to yield 4 cups cooked.

  3. 03

    Combine the drained beans, water, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring, until hot. Stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice.

  4. 04

    Mix the yogurt with the remaining tablespoon lime juice and 1–2 teaspoons water if needed to make a drizzling sauce.

  5. 05

    Divide the cooked rice, roasted sweet potato, and warm beans among four bowls. Add avocado slices, drizzle with lime yogurt, and finish with cilantro if using.

  6. 06

    Refrigerate rice, beans, and sweet potato within 2 hours for up to 3–4 days. Store sauce separately and slice avocado just before serving; reheat the cooked components thoroughly.
