Ingredients
Scale
1 cup quinoa, cooked
1 sweet potato, diced
1 head broccoli, chopped
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Turmeric Tahini Sauce:
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon water (more as needed for desired consistency)
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss diced sweet potato and chopped broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
While vegetables are roasting, prepare the turmeric tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, maple syrup, turmeric, ginger, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add more water if needed to reach a pourable consistency.
To assemble the Buddha bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among serving bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, and chickpeas.
Drizzle generously with the turmeric tahini sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
Feel free to customize your Buddha bowl with other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or kale.
Add a protein source like grilled chicken or tofu for an extra boost.
