Cook brown basmati rice on the stovetop with a 2 to 1 ratio of water to rice for about 45 to 50 minutes.

Cube sweet potatoes into about half-inch cubes.

Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and minced garlic.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes until golden.

Combine 1 cup of black beans with their liquid, a little bit of garlic, spices, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan.

Heat the black bean mixture over medium heat for roughly 5 to 6 minutes until warm and some liquid is absorbed.

Once the sweet potatoes are done, and the rice is ready, assemble the bowls.

Add toppings such as salsa, toasted pepitas, and a sprinkle of cilantro to the bowls.
