# How to Prepare:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper on a baking sheet. Spread evenly and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and tender.
02 - Rinse rice under cold water. Bring 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a saucepan. Add rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until cooked (12 minutes for white rice, 35 minutes for brown rice). Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and mix in lime juice and chopped cilantro.
03 - In a small pan, combine black beans with cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Heat over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and fragrant.
04 - Halve the cherry tomatoes. Slice the avocado and thinly slice the red onion. Chop the fresh cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges for serving.
05 - Divide lime rice among four bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn kernels, avocado slices, and red onion. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Add vegan sour cream or cashew crema if desired.
