These burrito bowls have been a favorite in my kitchen for over ten years now. They are simple to put together, nutritious, and have just the right balance of earthy and sweet flavors that keep everyone coming back for seconds.

My best tip for this recipe is to roast the sweet potatoes until they are nice and caramelized at the edges. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor that really makes the whole bowl shine.

💡 Tips

You can store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days. If you want a bit of extra protein, these bowls go great with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
