Sweet Potato Rice Bowl

Sweet Potato Rice Bowl 

•1 large or 2 medium sized sweet potatoes peeled and diced Into bite size pieces 

•1 15oz. can black beans drained and rinsed 

•3 Cups Fresh or frozen broccoli that has been thawed slightly

•2-3 Cups cooked rice (I like brown rice for this recipe)

•Olive oil

•Salt and pepper 

Heat a deep frying pan or cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add a little olive oil to the pan. I usually just eyeball a few splashes. Sauté the sweet potatoes until they are almost fork tender. Be careful not to burn them. Sweet potatoes are easy to burn because of their sugar content. Season with a little S&P. Next add the broccoli and cook to your consistency. Some people like their veggies a little mushy where my husband prefers them to have a little crunch left to them. Once the potatoes and broccoli are to your liking add the beans. Heat through. Add a little more S&P until it's to your liking then stir in the cooked rice. That's it your done!
