Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Peel sweet potatoes and dice into small cubes. Combine cubed sweet potatoes in a small bowl with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, ½ tsp. sea salt, and 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper. Mix until evenly coated. Place cubed sweet potatoes onto baking sheet and roast 20 minutes, until caramelized.
- While sweet potatoes are roasting, place quinoa and 1 ¼ cups water in a pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Cook 15–20 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Add ¼ cup water, as necessary, to fully cook quinoa.
- While quinoa is cooking, place all green sauce ingredients into a blender or food processor. Pulse for 1 minute until well incorporated. Alternatively, place ingredients in small bowl and stir well to incorporate. Set aside green sauce.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in sauce pan over medium heat. Add diced shallot and minced garlic; sauté 1–2 minutes until shallots are translucent. Add black beans and ¼ cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Divide quinoa between two bowls. Top with black beans, sweet potatoes, and remaining chopped cilantro. Drizzle with green sauce. Garnish with lime wedges.
