Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes cubed
  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed
  • 2 ripe avocados sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/2 red onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: cilantro pumpkin seeds, hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.
  • While the sweet potatoes roast, combine quinoa with 2 cups water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 15-20 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Sauté red onion and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Warm black beans in a small saucepan over low heat, seasoning with a pinch of cumin and salt.
  • Assemble your bowls by dividing the quinoa among 4 bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, sautéed onions and garlic, fresh spinach, and sliced avocado.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and your chosen toppings.
