Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup dry quinoa
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • For the Tahini Dressing: 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2–4 tablespoons warm water (to thin)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the potatoes roast, cook the quinoa. Combine quinoa and water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  3. Prepare the tahini dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Slowly add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
  4. Assemble your bowls. Divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Arrange the roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, red onion, and avocado slices over the quinoa base.
  5. Drizzle generously with the prepared tahini dressing and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • For easy meal prep, cook the quinoa and roast the sweet potatoes ahead of time. Store components separately in the refrigerator for up to four days.
  • You can substitute brown rice or farro for quinoa if you prefer a different grain base for your power bowls.
  • Add a handful of spinach or kale to the bottom of the bowl before adding the other ingredients for extra greens.
