Ingredients
  

For the Buddha Bowl:
  • 1 cup quinoa rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 small sweet potato diced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 2 red radishes sliced
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup canned chickpeas
  • 1 cup mixed salad greens
  • 1 small cucumber sliced
  • 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds toasted
  • 1 dip of choice

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Baking sheet
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by rinsing the quinoa under cold water in a fine mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice the sweet potato, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for 20-25 minutes on a baking sheet.
  3. While the sweet potatoes roast, slice the radishes and cucumber. Prepare the avocado just before serving to keep it fresh.
  4. Assemble your bowl by starting with quinoa, then adding roasted sweet potatoes, sliced radishes, cucumber, avocado, and chickpeas. Top with mixed salad greens.
  5. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Add your dip of choice to enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap quinoa for other grains like brown rice or farro.
  • Make it seasonal by changing the vegetables according to what's available.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
