Ingredients

1 large sweet potato, diced

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup cooked brown rice

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the diced sweet potato with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, and salt on a baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes roast, gently warm the black beans and corn in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Assemble your bowls: Divide the brown rice among serving bowls.
Top the rice with the roasted sweet potatoes, warm black bean and corn mixture, and sliced avocado.
Garnish with red onion and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
