Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato chopped into ¼ to ½-inch cubes
- 2 large parsnip peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 2 medium golden beet peeled and chopped into wedges
- grapeseed oil or olive oil, for roasting
- sea salt or olive oil, for roasting
- 10 ounces spinach or greens of choice
- ½ small cabbage sliced, head
- 3 cups brown rice cooked
Maple Cinnamon Tahini Dressing:
- 1/3 cup tahini
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Arrange the root vegetables on two large baking sheets in a single layer.
- Drizzle grapeseed (or olive) oil over the vegetables and use your hands to coat them.
- Sprinkle veggies with sea salt and bake in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until soft and slightly browned (mine took 32 minutes).
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the tahini dressing. Add all ingredients for the dressing to a small blender and blend until smooth, thick, and creamy. If dressing is too thick, add a small amount of water or lemon juice.
- Prepare buddha bowls by adding desired amount of spinach, cabbage, and brown rice to large serving bowls. Add desired amount of roasted vegetables and tahini dressing to each bowl. Note: a small amount of tahini dressing goes a long way!
- Serve with sunflower seeds and fresh chopped parsley or cilantro.
