1 medium Sweet Potato, cubed
1/2 cup Shredded Purple Cabbage
3 tbsp Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Maple Syrup
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cubed sweet potatoes and chickpeas on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with a pinch of sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the chickpeas are slightly crispy
- While the vegetables roast, rinse one cup of quinoa under cold water. Combine with two cups of water or vegetable broth in a small pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside
- Place your chopped kale in a large bowl. Add a tiny drop of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Use your hands to massage the kale for 2-3 minutes
- In a small jar or bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and a tablespoon of warm water. Whisk until the consistency is smooth and creamy
- Divide the massaged kale and cooked quinoa into four serving bowls. Add a generous portion of roasted sweet potatoes, crispy chickpeas, shredded purple cabbage, and fresh avocado slices
- Drizzle the creamy tahini dressing over the top of your Weight Loss Buddha Bowls. Finish with a sprinkle of hemp seeds or toasted sesame seeds
