Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crisp.

Step 3

While sweet potatoes roast, prepare the vegetables: set out broccoli florets, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced avocado (or tahini/sunflower seeds).

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and sesame oil until smooth. If needed, thin with 1–2 tablespoons warm water.

Step 5

To assemble, divide roasted sweet potatoes and vegetables among 4 bowls. Drizzle with peanut sauce.

Step 6

Garnish each bowl with cilantro and chopped peanuts. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the best results, ensure your sweet potatoes are cut into uniform cubes so they roast evenly. If your peanut sauce is too thick to drizzle, simply whisk in a little more warm water until it reaches your desired consistency. You can also lightly blanch the broccoli if you prefer it slightly softened rather than raw.

Varianten und Anpassungen

To increase the protein content, consider adding baked tofu or cooked chickpeas. For a more filling meal, serve the vegetables and potatoes over a bed of fluffy quinoa or brown rice. To make this recipe nut-free, substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter, omit the sesame oil, and garnish with sunflower seeds instead of peanuts.

Serviervorschläge

This Buddha bowl is best enjoyed immediately while the potatoes are warm and the vegetables are crisp. If you are preparing this for later, store the roasted potatoes, fresh vegetables, and peanut sauce in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator to keep everything fresh and prevent the vegetables from wilting.
