Makes 3 servings
Active Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with foil.
Step 2
Cut the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Pile on the prepared pan, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with ½ teaspoon salt, and toss to coat. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the sweet potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 1⅓ cups water to a boil. Add the vegetable rice, stir to combine, and return to a boil. Then remove from heat, cover with a lid, and let rest until tender, 12 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss 2 cups of the kale with 2 tablespoons of the cilantro-lime dressing and season with salt. Reheat the beans in the microwave, 30 seconds. Peel, pit, and dice the avocado.
Step 5
Heap the vegetable rice into bowls, and top with the beans, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, and dressed kale. Sprinkle with the pepitas, drizzle with the remaining cilantro-lime dressing, and serve warm.
