Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 tsp cumin
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes or until fork-tender and caramelized.
- Cook the Ground Beef: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes).
- Combine Ingredients: Once the beef is fully cooked, add the rinsed black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine and warm through for an additional couple of minutes.
- Assemble Your Power Bowl: In serving bowls, layer roasted sweet potatoes over the beef mixture. Drizzle fresh lime juice on top before serving.
