- 1 bulb garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Pierce sweet potatoes a few times with a fork and place on a lined baking sheet. Roast for 50-55 minutes until tender.
- In the final 20 minutes, prepare garlic by slicing off the top, drizzling with olive oil, sprinkling with salt and pepper, wrapping in foil, and adding to the baking sheet.
- While sweet potatoes and garlic roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet. Sauté sliced broccolini for 3-4 minutes until lightly charred.
- Add 2 tbsp water, cover, and steam broccolini for 3 minutes.
- Add drained beans, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet; stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until beans are warmed through.
- In a small pan, toast pecans over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Add olive oil, maple syrup, garlic chili paste, and rice vinegar; stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Allow sweet potatoes to cool, peel them, and squeeze out roasted garlic cloves. Mash sweet potatoes with tahini, maple syrup, miso paste, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Assemble bowls with whipped sweet potato mash, topped with spiced broccolini and bean mixture, and finish with sweet-savory pecans. Serve immediately.
