Instructions

Sweet Potato

  • Add diced sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, and salt. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Add sweet potatoes to the basket in a single layer and cook for 20 minutes, shaking halfway through, until tender and golden.

Crispy Tofu

  • In a clean bowl, combine the tofu cubes with olive oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper (if using). Toss gently to coat without breaking the tofu.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange tofu in a single layer in the basket and cook for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy.

To Serve

  • Spread about ¼ cup of hummus in the base of each bowl. Divide the sweet potato and tofu evenly among bowls.
  • Top with avocado, cherry tomatoes, corn, black beans, and chopped cilantro. Serve each bowl with a wedge of lime.
