Sweet Potato Black Bean Bowls

Sunday Table Verified

Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a sheet pan. Spread the diced sweet potatoes on the sheet pan, and drizzle with 2 Tbs. olive oil. Sprinkle with chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat, and bake for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, toss the kale and bell pepper with the remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss the mixture with the semi-cooked sweet potatoes, and cook for another 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the kale is crispy.

Stir the can of black beans into the veggie mixture and bake for 3-5 minutes, just until the beans are warmed through. Taste, and season with salt and pepper. Serve the veggie mixture over rice with avocado, seeds, tahini sauce, and/or other toppings of choice.

Lemon-Tahini Dressing

While the veggies are baking, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, and a pinch of salt. It will seize, but just keep whisking until it’s smooth. Add more lemon juice or water to get a saucy texture. Drizzle over bowls!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Sweet Potato Roasting Perfection 🍠
Cut sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting and maximize caramelization. Toss with a touch of olive oil and season generously before spreading on a single layer on the baking sheet.
Black Bean Flavor Boost 🫘
Rinse canned black beans thoroughly and season them with cumin, smoked paprika, and a splash of lime juice to elevate their natural flavor profile and add depth to your bowl.
Meal Prep Master Strategy 🥡
Store sauce, roasted vegetables, and beans separately to maintain optimal texture and prevent sogginess when preparing multiple servings in advance.
Tahini Sauce Texture Trick 🥄
Whisk tahini sauce until smooth, and if it becomes too thick, gradually add warm water to achieve the perfect drizzling consistency.
Grain and Protein Flexibility 🌈
Use quinoa, brown rice, or farro as base grains, and easily swap proteins like grilled chicken, tofu, or tempeh to customize your bowl without changing the core recipe.
