- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/3 cup cilantro, minced
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1/2 tsp ginger powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2–3 tsp chili oil, to taste
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil (optional)
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup plain unsweetened plant-based yogurt
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
- Cooked grains of choice (rice, quinoa, farro, etc.) – optional
- Fresh lettuce greens – optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Add sweet potato cubes to a baking sheet and toss with cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and avocado oil. Spread in a single layer.
- Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping every 10–15 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the black bean salad: combine black beans, red onion, cilantro, avocado, garlic, and ginger powder in a bowl.
- Add soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil (if using), maple syrup, lime zest, and juice. Toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Whisk together yogurt, sriracha, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt for the optional dressing.
- To assemble, layer cooked grains into bowls, top with roasted sweet potatoes and black bean salad, and drizzle with sriracha yogurt dressing.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, roast sweet potatoes directly on the baking sheet (no parchment).
- Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.
- Omit or adjust sriracha to control spice level.
- Store all components separately for best texture and freshness.
- Swap avocado with bell peppers or parsley for cilantro, if desired.
