  3. Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are tender.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef for 5-7 minutes, draining excess fat if needed.
  5. Add the beans, corn, and the remaining half of the spice mixture to the skillet.

  7. Assemble the bowls by layering the roasted sweet potatoes and the seasoned beef mixture.
  8. Top with fresh cherry tomatoes and sliced avocado.

Notes

Cut sweet potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. Substitute ground turkey for an even leaner option. Use high-quality smoked paprika to enhance the savory depth. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
