Instructions

Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, and cumin. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until they’re tender and caramelized.
Prepare the Black Beans: In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the red onion and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the cumin, chili powder, and black beans, stirring to coat the beans in the spices. Pour in the vegetable broth and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Assemble the Bowl: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and black beans into bowls. Top with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
