Prep Time 30 minutes mins
Servings 4
Calories 472 kcal
- ½ cup uncooked quinoa
- water
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 1 sweet potato cubed
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 cup roasted chickpeas
- ½ cup roasted pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup cucumber chopped
- ½ cup lemon tahini sauce
If needed, make the roasted chickpeas and lemon tahini sauce.
Wash and cube the sweet potato, mix in a large bowl with the olive oil, and then air fry it for about 15 minutes at 390 degrees F. Alternatively, roast it in the oven on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 25 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Meanwhile, cook the quinoa according to the package directions.
Divide the quinoa and mixed greens into 4 shallow bowls. Alternatively, you can create one buddha bowl and save the remaining ingredients in separate air-tight containers in the fridge to use later.
Divide the roasted sweet potato, roasted chickpeas, roasted pumpkin seeds and chopped cucumber and layer over the 4 bowls.
Drizzle each bowl with about 2 Tbsp of lemon tahini sauce and enjoy.
Cooking the roasted chickpeas, roasted sweet potato cubes, and quinoa in advance will help make this buddha bowl come together a lot quicker!
You can also make the lemon tahini sauce in advance and store it in an air-tight container in the fridge to use throughout the week.
