Ingredients
  

Sweet Potato Base

  • 2 large Sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (½ inch size)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Herb de Provence
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 cans (14 oz) Black beans, rinsed and drained

Toppings

  • 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
  • 2 large Avocados, cubed
  • Cashew sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • Place the sweet potato in a shallow bowl, add the olive oil, herb de Provence, garlic powder, salt, and pepper then combine, thoroughly coating the sweet potatoes.
  • Spread the sweet potatoes over the lined baking sheet on a single layer leaving at least 1-2 inches space in between for even baking.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes turning halfway through until the skin is crisp and charred. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Prepare the Protein

  • If using canned beans, place in a microwave-safe bowl, add the cumin powder, stir, and heat for 3 minutes. Set aside.

Assemble the Bowl

  • Divide sweet potato, rice, and beans into 4 serving dishes. Add the cherry tomatoes, avocado, and toasted cashews, topping with Creamy cashew sauce or your favorite dressing. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers separately for best results. To preserve avocado, brush with lime or lemon juice and seal in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
