Sweet Potato Black Bean Quinoa Bowl
Sweet Potato Black Bean Quinoa Bowl: packed full of incredible flavor, made from nutritious fresh ingredients & completed with a variety of textures.
Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes:
- 2 large sweet potatoes or 4 medium/small
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ½ Tablespoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
Quinoa:
- 1 cup quinoa dry
- 2 cups water
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ¾ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic
Dressing:
- ⅓ cup yogurt
- 3 Tablespoons cilantro
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅙ teaspoon garlic powder
Other:
- 14 ounce black beans canned
- ¼ bunch cilantro
- 1 avocado chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400* F.
- Peel and cut your sweet potatoes into ½" cubes. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss. Pour the spices on top and toss some more to evenly coat.
- Lightly oil a full size baking sheet and transfer the potatoes to the sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes; you should be able to insert a fork into a potato easily.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, make the quinoa.
- Bring the quinoa and water to boil. Boil for 15 minutes then fluff with a fork. Put in lime juice, cilantro and spices and stir gently to combine. I like to stir with a fluffing motion to keep the quinoa light and airy.
- Make the dressing by putting the greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, salt and garlic powder into a blender and blend on high until combined.
- Rinse and drain a can of black beans (or make your own in an instant pot), chop some cilantro and dice the avocado.
- Put some quinoa in a bowl and top with the sweet potatoes, black beans, cilantro, avocado and dressing.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container up to 7 days. Makes a great salad when served on a bed of lettuce!
