Ingredients
Scale
1 cup brown rice, uncooked
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh cilantro or green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once shimmering, toss in the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally until they start to soften.
Add the rinsed black beans, uncooked brown rice, diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and let it bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed.
Let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions.
