Instructions

Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Prepare the Beans:
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat, warming them through.
Assemble the Breakfast Bowl:
Once the sweet potatoes are done, layer them in a shallow bowl with the warmed black beans.
Top with diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion. Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.
Drizzle freshly squeezed lime juice over the entire dish.
Serve:
Serve the bowl warm and enjoy the balance of textures and flavors!
