Ingredients
•
2 cups white rice
•
4 cups water
•
1 large Sweet Potato, peeled and cubed
•
3 tablespoons Coconut oil or Vegetable Oil, or as needed, divided
•
1/2 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
•
1/2 Green Bell Pepper, sliced
•
1/2 Orange Bell Pepper, sliced
•
1 package Extra Firm
•
1 can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
•
Jerk Seasoning to taste
•
2 tablespoons Jerk Marinade/Sauce
Directions
1
Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Keep warm.
2
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
3
Toss cubed sweet potatoes in 1 tablespoon oil. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
4
Roast sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until tender but not too soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
5
Heat a cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium-high heat; add red, green, and orange bell peppers and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
6
Add remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil to the same skillet. Add tofu evenly. Cook for 2 minutes and gently flip to the other side. Continue cooking, turning occasionally, until tofu gets a little crisp on the edges, 6 to 8 minutes.
7
Add jerk marinade, being deliberate about making sure tofu is covered. Once tofu starts to caramelize from the marinade, remove from heat.
8
Warm black beans in a microwave-safe dish until hot, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
9
Assemble grain bowls: divide rice, tofu, peppers, sweet potatoes, and black beans evenly into individual serving bowls.
