Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup carrots, grated
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Peanut Sauce
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Dice the sweet potatoes, chop the broccoli florets, shred the green cabbage, slice the avocado, and grate the carrots. Set everything aside to assemble the bowl later.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the diced sweet potatoes evenly on a baking sheet, drizzle them lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are golden-brown and tender.
- Mix Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced avocado. Gently toss to blend the fresh vegetables together.
- Make Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and sesame oil until you get a smooth, creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Assemble Buddha Bowl: Place the mixed vegetables in serving bowls, top with the roasted sweet potatoes, then drizzle generously with the prepared peanut sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and chopped peanuts for texture and flavor.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
- For optimal taste, store the peanut sauce separately from the vegetables if keeping leftovers.
- Feel free to customize with additional toppings like sesame seeds or extra lime juice for a zestier flavor.
