Spiced Pork and Roasted Sweet Potato Bowls

A vibrant and flavorful dish combining tender spiced pork with roasted sweet potatoes, a touch of creamy avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 avocado, mashed
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork cubes and cook until browned on all sides.
  3. Stir in smoked paprika, cumin powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until pork is cooked through.
  4. To assemble the bowls, divide roasted sweet potatoes among serving plates. Top with spiced pork, mashed avocado, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
