Garlic & Herb Sweet Potato Nourish Bowl (30 Minutes!)
Description
This recipe centers on halved sweet potatoes baked with their skins to tenderness and lightly coated with avocado oil. A parsley salad with red bell pepper, red onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper adds a crisp, herbal, and slightly acidic component. The dill garlic sauce combines hummus, lemon juice, garlic, and fresh or dried dill to provide a creamy, bright drizzle.
The bowl is assembled with chopped romaine lettuce as a base, topped with the roasted sweet potatoes, parsley salad, and sauce. Additional toppings can include sauerkraut, tahini, za’atar spice blend, dulse sea vegetables or sprouts, lemon wedges, and optional chili garlic sauce for heat. The dish brings together a variety of textures from the tender sweet potato flesh to the crunchy salad and creamy sauce.
Preparation takes about 25 to 30 minutes depending on the sweet potato size, with active prep done while the potatoes bake. The nutrition information provided excludes optional ingredients. This bowl is suitable as a filling vegetarian meal or side.
Ingredients
SWEET POTATO
- 1 medium sweet potato skin on, halved
- 1/4 tsp avocado oil
PARSLEY SALAD
- 1 cup parsley finely chopped
- 1/3 cup red bell pepper chopped, or cherry tomatoes
- 3 Tbsp red onion diced
- 1 ½ Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 healthy pinch sea salt
- 1 healthy pinch black pepper
SAUCE
- 1/2 batch 4-Ingredient Dill Garlic Sauce
FOR SERVING
- 2 cups romaine lettuce we like romaine hearts, chopped
- 2 Tbsp hummus (or store-bought)
- 1 Tbsp sauerkraut (or sub store-bought)
- 1 Tbsp tahini (or see our favorite brands here!)
- 2-3 tsp Za’atar (or sub store-bought)
- lemon optional, wedges
- 1 Tbsp dulse (or other sea vegetable or sprout of choice // optional)
- Chili garlic sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C // if you have convection, use it to speed cook time) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Add halved sweet potato and rub with a little oil to coat (if your sweet potato is large, cut into quarters or large wedges to speed bake time). Then bake for ~25 minutes or until tender.
- In the meantime, prepare parsley salad by adding parsley, red bell pepper, red onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a small mixing bowl and tossing to combine. Add more lemon or salt to taste if needed. Set aside.
- Next, prepare dill garlic sauce by adding the hummus, lemon juice, fresh or dried dill, and minced garlic to a small mixing bowl and stirring to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding salt to taste (only if needed), lemon juice for more acidity, garlic for bite, or dill for a more intense herb flavor. If the flavors are too strong, dilute with a little hummus. The sauce should be pourable, so add a bit of water to thin if needed.
- To serve, add the chopped romaine to a large serving bowl along with parsley salad, roasted sweet potato, hummus, sauerkraut, tahini, and za’atar. Optional: You can also serve with lemon wedges and top with dulse and/or chili garlic sauce. Serve with the dill garlic sauce.
- Best when fresh. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator, keeping the sauce and sweet potato separate from the greens / parsley salad. Sweet potatoes will last for 2-3 days, greens for 3-4 days, and sauce for 4-5 days. Reheat sweet potato in a 375 degree (190 C) oven or on the stovetop over medium heat until hot.
Notes
- Nutrition estimates exclude optional toppings and ingredients for accuracy.
- Most preparation happens while the sweet potatoes bake, keeping active time efficient.
