Ingredients
 

Buddha Bowl:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into bite-sized small cubes
  • 1 medium head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 15oz can of unsalted chickpeas, drained, rinsed and dried
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 12 - 14 large kale leaves, large stems removed and chopped
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 3 oranges, peeled and sliced
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp sesame seeds or hemp seeds
  • Optional: microgreens and avocado

Tahini Dressing:

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp 100% maple syrup
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 - 4 Tbsp water
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes and broccoli with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Evenly spread across two-thirds of the baking sheet, making sure the vegetables do not overlap.
  • In the same bowl, toss the chickpeas in 1 Tablespoon olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Evenly spread across the other half the lined baking tray. Roast for 20 - 30 minutes, or until vegetables are brown, crisp, and done to your liking.
  • Prepare the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together. Add additional water as needed until desired thickness. Set aside.
  • Add kale leaves to a large mixing bowl with the juice from 1 lemon and half the tahini dressing. Use your hands or tongs to massage the leaves until they become soft and wilted. The size should reduce by about half.
  • Assemble your buddha bowls with a base of kale and top with roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, chickpeas, red cabbage, orange slices, microgreens, avocado, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with the rest of the tahini dressing and enjoy!
