Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and shredded
  • 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 large cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup radishes, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • For the Creamy Tahini Drizzle:
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 2–4 tbsp water
  • Salt to taste
  • Pinch ground cumin (optional)
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Sesame seeds
  • Avocado slices
  • Sprouts or microgreens

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and chop sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread onto a lined baking sheet.
  3. Roast sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and fork-tender.
  4. Drain and rinse chickpeas, pat dry, toss with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add to baking sheet for the last 10 minutes of sweet potato roasting.
  5. Cook brown rice or quinoa per package instructions (usually 15-20 minutes simmering in water). Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.
  6. Slice cucumber, shred carrot, chop red cabbage, halve cherry tomatoes, and slice radishes if using. Wash and dry spinach or mixed greens.
  7. In a small bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin (if using), and salt. Whisk, adding water gradually until creamy and pourable. Taste and adjust lemon or salt as needed.
  8. Assemble Buddha Bowl: Start with grains (about 1/2 cup per bowl). Arrange roasted sweet potato, chickpeas, and fresh veggies in sections. Top with spinach or greens.
  9. Drizzle tahini sauce over the bowl. Garnish with parsley, sesame seeds, and avocado slices if desired.
  10. Serve immediately while veggies are warm and sauce is fresh, or pack into meal prep containers for later.

Notes

Add water to tahini sauce slowly for best texture. Roast chickpeas longer for extra crunch. Cool grains before assembling to prevent wilting greens. Sauce can be adjusted for taste and consistency. Swap veggies and grains as desired for seasonal or dietary needs.
