Ingredients

• 1 cup Quinoa
• 2 cups Vegetable broth (or water)
• 1 medium Sweet potato, diced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 cup Chickpeas, cooked and drained
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 1 cup Shredded carrots
• 1 small Cucumber, sliced
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under water using a fine-mesh strainer.

Step 2

In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth (or water) to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 4

Toss the diced sweet potato with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, tossing halfway through cooking.

Step 6

While the quinoa and sweet potatoes cook, prepare the tahini dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic powder, and a splash of water. Adjust the consistency by adding more water, a teaspoon at a time, until you achieve a pourable texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Assemble the Buddha bowls: Start with a base of cooked quinoa in each bowl. Layer baby spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, and avocado.

Step 8

Drizzle the tahini dressing generously over the top of each bowl.

Step 9

Serve immediately. Enjoy your vibrant and wholesome soy-free Buddha bowl!
