Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the cubed sweet potatoes directly onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and drizzle with avocado oil. Toss everything together to evenly coat the sweet potatoes and spread them out in a single layer, making sure they have some space between them.
Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
- Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them every 10-15 minutes to ensure even roasting. They should turn golden and crispy on the outside.
Prepare the Black Bean Salad:
- While the potatoes are roasting, combine the black beans, red onion, cilantro, avocado, grated garlic, and ginger powder (if using) in a large mixing bowl. Add soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil (optional), maple syrup, lime zest, and juice. Toss everything together until well coated. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Make the Sriracha Yogurt Dressing (Optional):
- In a small bowl, stir together the plant-based yogurt, sriracha, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Set aside.
Assemble and Serve:
- Once the sweet potatoes are crispy, serve them over your favorite cooked grain, along with the black bean salad. Drizzle with the sriracha yogurt dressing and garnish with fresh lettuce greens if desired.
