Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegan Sweet Potato and Black Bean Salad.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450°F (230°C).
Step 2
On a rimmed baking sheet, generously drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the sweet potato cubes.
Step 3
Sprinkle them with ground cumin, red pepper flakes for a kick if you like, coarse salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
Step 4
Toss the sweet potatoes until they are beautifully coated in the oil and spices.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet on the lower rack of the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes, stirring halfway through, until they reach a tender perfection, which should take about 25 to 35 minutes.
Step 6
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the vibrant juice of a freshly squeezed lime in a large bowl.
Step 7
Season this zesty dressing with salt and black pepper to your liking.
Step 8
Once the sweet potatoes are golden and fragrant, transfer them to the bowl along with black beans, diced red onion, and a handful of fresh cilantro.

Gently toss everything together, allowing the flavors to mingle and create a delightful medley.
