Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes sliced in half moons
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 8.75-ounce can corn drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup purple cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 8.5 ounce microwave brown rice packet like Seeds of Change or 1.75 cups cooked brown rice

For the sauce

  • ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 limes juiced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450° F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Toss sweet potatoes and olive oil, ½ teaspoon of the salt and the smoked paprika in a large bowl. Transfer to sheet pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until fork-tender (tossing once to prevent burning).
  • Meanwhile make the sauce: add yogurt through lime juice to a food processor and run until well combined. Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Mix beans and corn in a small bowl. Slice cabbage, tomatoes, and avocado.
  • To serve, layer the cooked brown rice, sweet potatoes, beans & corn, cabbage, tomatoes and avocado slices in four bowls. Drizzle with cilantro lime sauce.
