Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh kale
- 10 oz diced sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas
- ½ avocado (sliced)
- Half red onion (sliced)
- ⅓ cup plant-based sour cream or yogurt
- 1 ½ tablespoon sriracha
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt
- Juice from 1 lemon
Instructions
- Mix together your seasonings then heat a pan on medium heat on the stove.
- Once your pan is warm, add in your sweet potato and drizzle with avocado oil.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes and stir. Heat until sweet potatoes are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Set aside to slightly cool.
- While your sweet potatoes are cooling, mix together the vegan sour cream or yogurt, sriracha, and juice from half a lemon. Set aside.
- In a bowl, place one cup of kale. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper and squeeze half a lemon over the top.
- Add half of your cooled sweet potatoes on top of your bed of kale, keeping it to one side of the bowl.
- Add half the chickpeas next to the sweet potato then sliced red onion.
- Add in your sliced avocado to fill the remainder of the bowl.
- Drizzle the sriracha sauce over the top and sprinkle with a dash of paprika.
- Repeat with the remainder of the ingredients for the second buddha bowl. Enjoy!
Notes
- The kale can easily be swapped for baby spinach and will be just as healthy!
- If you want a little extra flavor, toast the chickpeas with a sprinkle of paprika at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.
- Double the recipe to use this as a fantastic meal prep recipe for the week.
