Buddha Bowls
Description
Buddha Bowls start with roasting sweet potatoes and chickpeas side by side until tender and crispy respectively, using olive oil and seasoning to enhance their natural flavors. Meanwhile, quinoa serves as a hearty grain base, cooked separately. Fresh spinach and shredded purple cabbage add leafy freshness and color contrast. Sliced avocado and roasted cashews contribute creamy and crunchy textures.
The combined ingredients are portioned into bowls with quinoa on the bottom, topped with the roasted vegetables, greens, nuts, and avocado. A dressing made by whisking tahini with lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, and pepper is drizzled over the assembled bowls, tying the flavors together with its creamy and slightly sweet citrus notes. Served immediately, it offers a balanced, plant-focused meal with varied textures and tastes.
