1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 medium yellow onion, sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line one or two sheet pans with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. -
Make the Seasoning Paste:
In a small bowl, mix the spices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create a flavorful paste. -
Prep the Protein:
Pat the chicken or steak dry. Season with salt and pepper, then rub with half of the spice paste on both sides. Let it marinate while you prep the veggies. -
Prep the Veggies and Beans:
In a large bowl, toss the beans, sliced onion, bell peppers, and cabbage with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the rest of the spice blend. Add salt and pepper to taste. -
Assemble on the Sheet Pan(s):
Spread the seasoned protein and veggie-bean mix evenly across one or two sheet pans. Keep ingredients in a single layer for best roasting results. -
Bake:
Roast for about 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender and slightly charred. If using steak, adjust cooking time based on desired doneness. -
Serve:
Slice the cooked protein, then divide everything evenly into 4 bowls. Top with salsa, guacamole or avocado, green onions, and the cumin-lime Greek yogurt.
