Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

2 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into small chunks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt

Peppers

2 bell peppers sliced thinly
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons chili powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika

Avocado Dressing

1 avocado ripe
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil

Assembly

3 cups basmati rice cooked
1 can black beans rinsed
3 tomatoes chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place sweet potatoes in a bowl and toss with olive oil and sea salt.
Line a baking tray with tinfoil and spread out the sweet potatoes. Cook for 24-26 minutes turning once halfway through. Potatoes should be tender.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, toss the bell peppers in the oil and seasonings. Halfway through the sweet potatoes, add the bell peppers to the pan and cook for the remainder of the time until everything is tender.
Make the avocado dressing: in a mini blender combine the avocado, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Blend until smooth.
Assemble to the bowl: place rice on the bottom and top with peppers, tomatoes, black beans, and sweet potatoes.
Drizzle the 1-1.5 tablespoons of avocado dressing on top and lime juice if desired.

Meal prep the recipe - by roasting the sweet potatoes and making the avocado dressing ahead of time. You can make the peppers ahead of time also and simply reheat or skip them all together in favor of other, fresh vegetables.

Drain and rinse the black beans, you can put them on the gluten free bowl as is or heat them briefly.

The gluten-free bowl is whipped up a lot faster if you have cooked rice in the fridge. This is one of my crucial hacks to make meal prep easier.

From there, place it in a pot on the stove with a bit of water (add the beans in too!) and heat on low to medium.

To make this burrito bowl recipe whole30 and paleo approved, simply swap out the rice for cauliflower rice and eliminate the black beans.
