A quick and easy 5-ingredient meal prep bowl perfect for game day, combining roasted sweet potatoes, quinoa, black beans, avocado, and fresh cilantro for a wholesome and satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (185g)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup black beans (170g), rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Peel if desired and dice the sweet potato into roughly 1-inch cubes. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and a pinch of sea salt. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until tender inside and slightly crispy on the edges.
  4. While the potatoes roast, rinse 1 cup (185g) of quinoa under cold water. Combine quinoa with 2 cups (475ml) of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes more. Fluff with a fork before serving.
  6. Rinse and drain 1 cup (170g) of canned black beans and set aside.
  7. Chop the fresh cilantro and slice the avocado, keeping avocado slices thick to hold their shape.
  8. Assemble the bowl by starting with a base of quinoa, then add roasted sweet potatoes and black beans. Top with avocado slices and sprinkle chopped cilantro over everything.
  9. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the whole bowl just before serving.

Notes

To prevent avocado browning, add avocado slices fresh before serving or store with a squeeze of lime juice and cover tightly. Roasting sweet potatoes at 425°F ensures a crispy texture. Rinse quinoa well to remove bitterness. Lime juice brightens flavors and balances the bowl.
