Ingredients
  

2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), diced

1 cup zucchini, sliced

1 cup red onion, sliced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 2 limes

Zest of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Avocado slices, for serving (optional)

Cooked quinoa or brown rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion.

      Season the Veggies: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss everything until the vegetables are evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.

        Roast the Veggies: Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly crispy, tossing halfway through for even cooking.

          Add Black Beans: During the last 5 minutes of roasting, add the black beans to the baking sheet to warm them through.

            Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. This will be drizzled over the veggies once they are done roasting.

              Assemble the Bowls: Once the vegetables are beautifully roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle the lime dressing over the top. Toss gently to combine.

                Serve: Divide the roasted veggie mixture into bowls. If desired, serve over a bed of cooked quinoa or brown rice. Top with fresh cilantro and avocado slices for added creaminess.
