Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes. Toss the cubes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of cumin, 0.5 teaspoon of chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook 1 cup of brown rice according to package instructions.
In a separate pot, heat 1 can of drained black beans over medium heat. Stir in 0.5 teaspoon of cumin and a pinch of salt, cooking until heated through, about 5 minutes.
To assemble the bowls, start with a base of brown rice, top with roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and a handful of arugula. Drizzle with a sauce made from 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Serve immediately, or prepare in advance for meal prep by storing in airtight containers.
