  3. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast them for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, warm the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until heated through.

Notes

For a vegan twist, consider using cashew crema in place of avocado. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
