Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, and zucchini with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cumin until well-coated.
Spread the veggies evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the veggies are roasting, prepare the chipotle sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped chipotle peppers, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Divide the cooked quinoa evenly among four serving bowls.
Top each bowl with equal portions of roasted veggies, black beans, corn kernels, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro.
Drizzle the chipotle sauce over each bowl to taste.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness. Enjoy!
