2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Salt & pepper to taste 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
1 cup kale or spinach (lightly sautéed or raw) 1/2 cup canned black beans (rinsed and drained) 1/4 cup crumbled feta (optional) 1/4 avocado, sliced Pickled onions or red cabbage
2 tablespoons honey 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce (like Sriracha or your fav chili sauce) Pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat (optional)
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
While potatoes roast, mix honey and hot sauce in a small bowl. Warm in the microwave for ~10 seconds or on the stove just until thin and pourable.
In a bowl, layer your base (quinoa or rice), add the greens, roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, avocado and feta. Drizzle with hot honey. Top with pickled onions if using.
Roasted chickpeas for crunch. Soft-boiled egg or grilled chicken for a protein boost. Tahini for some healthy fats. Dried cranberries to add sweetness and pair nicely with the feta.
