Ingredients
  

Turmeric Tahini Sauce
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup water or more, to thin
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Bowl Components
  • 1 pound sweet potatoes cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 1.5 cups brown rice cooked
  • 4 cups kale chopped
  • 1/2 cup watermelon radish thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup rainbow carrots shredded or thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup red cabbage shredded
  • 1/4 cup sauerkraut

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the turmeric tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, water, lemon juice, turmeric, garlic powder, and salt until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Assemble your buddha bowls. Divide the cooked brown rice among four bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, rinsed chickpeas, chopped kale, sliced watermelon radish, shredded rainbow carrots, shredded red cabbage, and sauerkraut.
  4. Drizzle generously with the turmeric tahini sauce before serving.

Notes

For meal prepping, store each component separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble the bowls just before serving to keep ingredients fresh.
