Roasted Sweet Potato Black Bean Bowls

Cubed sweet potatoes roasted at high heat until the edges caramelize, served over cilantro-lime rice with spiced black beans, avocado, and a quick chili-lime crema. About 14g of fiber and 16g of protein per bowl. Good warm, good cold, holds four days in the fridge — one of the few meal-prep recipes that actually tastes better by day three.

Tex-Mex Cottage Cheese Bowl

Taco-seasoned ground beef or turkey, roasted sweet potato, black beans, cottage cheese, avocado, salsa, and hot honey. The black beans are not decoration — they add serious fiber and protein while absorbing the taco-spiced meat juices. This bowl keeps you full longer than most.

Black Bean Burger

Black beans mashed to a chunky paste, mixed with sautéed onion and garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, chipotle, oats, and a flax egg, then shaped into patties, chilled until firm, and pan-fried until dark and crisp on the outside. The key textures in a good black bean burger: a proper crust on the outside, and enough whole or partially mashed beans inside to give it a real bite rather than a uniform paste. Two things that determine success: dry the beans before mashing, and don't skip the resting time in the fridge.

Soups

Vegan Chili

Three kinds of beans and a rich, dark, smoky tomato-based sauce built on chipotle peppers, bloomed spices, and a small amount of cocoa powder. This is the version of vegan chili that wins cook-offs. The cocoa sounds unusual until you taste what it does — it deepens the existing flavors without adding any sweetness or chocolate flavor, the same way it works in a mole. The chipotle gives smoke. The long simmer gives body. A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end lifts everything. Make it the day before if you can.
