Sweet Potato & Cauliflower Rice Bowl

In this riff on a healthy grain bowl recipe, we use cauliflower rice instead of another whole grain like brown rice to cut back on carbs and load up on veggie servings. A simple citrusy drizzle, inspired by Cuban mojo sauce, finishes these vegan rice bowls, perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

1 Sweet Potato Medium, peeled if desired, sliced ¼ inch thick
2 Tbsp Olive Oil Divided
½ tsp Salt Divided
½ tsp Black Pepper Divided
¼ cup Orange Juice
2 Tbsp Lime Juice
½ cup Cilantro Chopped
3 cloves Garlic Minced
½ tsp Cumin
½ tsp Oregano
5 cups Cauliflower Florets
15 ounces Black Beans Rinsed
1 Avocado Sliced
½ cup Pico

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Toss sweet potato in a medium bowl with 2 teaspoons oil, a pinch of salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet. Roast until tender, 10 to 14 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine orange juice, lime juice, ¼ cup cilantro, 1 minced garlic clove, cumin, oregano and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Pulse cauliflower florets in two batches in a food processor until chopped into rice-size pieces. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower rice, the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ¼ cup cilantro.
To serve, divide the cauliflower among 4 bowls. Top with the sweet potato, black beans, avocado and pico de gallo. Drizzle each portion with the mojo sauce.
