"This colorful Buddha bowl is a plant-based powerhouse featuring fluffy quinoa, caramelized roasted vegetables, and crispy chickpeas. Finished with a velvety lemon-tahini dressing, it's a perfectly balanced meal for lunch or dinner."

1 Ingredients

Qty Item
1 cup Dry White Quinoa
1 large Sweet Potato, cubed
2 cups Broccoli Florets
1 can Canned Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.25 cup Tahini
2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tsp Maple Syrup
1 clove Garlic, minced

2 Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Spread the cubed sweet potatoes, broccoli florets, and chickpeas onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

3

Roast the vegetables for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the broccoli edges are crispy.

4

Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa under cold water. Combine it with 2 cups of water or vegetable broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.

5

Make the dressing by whisking the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, and 2-3 tablespoons of warm water together in a small bowl until smooth.

6

Fluff the quinoa with a fork and divide among four bowls.

7

Top the quinoa with the roasted vegetables and chickpeas. Drizzle the lemon-tahini sauce over each bowl and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

  • ·

    For extra flavor, cook the quinoa in vegetable broth instead of plain water.
