Description

A hearty bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, street corn, black beans, and fresh toppings. This dish is smoky, tangy, and creamy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or vegan mayo
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese or vegan feta
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
  2. While sweet potatoes roast, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until charred. Remove from heat.
  3. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, lime juice, and half the cilantro. Stir into the charred corn. Add salt to taste.
  4. To assemble bowls, divide roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and street corn among four bowls. Top with avocado slices, remaining cilantro, and cotija cheese. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use vegan mayo and omit cheese or use vegan feta.
  • Add a drizzle of hot sauce for extra heat.
