Pro Tips
💡
Cut sweet potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes so they roast at the same rate - uneven pieces mean some overcook while others stay raw.
💡
Make a double batch of rice and freeze half - instant base for quick bowls all week.
💡
The black bean mixture tastes even better the next day as the spices meld together.
