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 (14 ounce) package extra firm tofu
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon jerk seasoning, or to taste
2 tablespoons jerk marinade

Directions

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.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Toss cubed sweet potatoes in 1 tablespoon oil. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until tender but not too soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
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.
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.
Add jerk marinade, being deliberate about making sure tofu is covered. Once tofu starts to caramelize from the marinade, remove from heat.
Warm black beans in a microwave-safe dish until hot, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
Assemble grain bowls: divide rice, tofu, peppers, sweet potatoes, and black beans evenly into individual serving bowls.
