Instructions

  1. Preheat and prep vegetables

  2. Roast the sweet potatoes

    2. Toss *sweet potatoes* with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt on the baking sheet. Roast for *22 to 25 minutes*, flipping once, until *tender and browned at the edges*.

  3. Make the swicy sauce

  4. Warm the black beans

    4. Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add *black beans*, water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook for *3 to 4 minutes*, mashing a few beans, until *hot and lightly saucy*.

  5. Season the cabbage
