Editor’s note: This post was originally published on May 20, 2019. Since then, it’s been updated with a rewritten post. Slight changes were made to the recipe.
This bowl celebrates fresh Spring produce, including radishes, green peas, and green peas. It's family-friendly, take-to-work-friendly, and kid-friendly as it can be prepped in advance, doubled, and easily customized for the kiddos.
The wonderful thing about making your own plant-based Buddha bowl is that you can use whatever ingredients you have stocked in your kitchen. Let's say you don't have any green onions or pumpkin seeds. Just use whatever you do have in your kitchen, such as chopped almonds, red onions, or skip entirely.
How to make a vegan power bowl
If you want to make the bowl when you're ready to enjoy it,
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Combine the diced sweet potato in a bowl with oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden brown, flipping halfway.
- Prepare the green peas: In a skillet, warm the oil. Add the garlic, green peas, salt, and pepper. Cook until the green peas are warm and cooked through.
- Assemble each bowl: Separate the greens, roasted sweet potatoes, green peas, quinoa, avocado, radishes, green onions, pepitas, and hemp seeds between the two bowls. Drizzle with theCreamy Lemon Tahini Dressingand enjoy.
How to make ahead of time
You can either prepare the bowl when it's time to eat or you can prep the ingredients beforehand so you can make the bowl in minutes when it's time to eat.
I prefer to roast my sweet potatoes beforehand, cook a big batch of quinoa, and prepare the vegetables. When I'm ready to eat, I pull out the ingredients and prepare my meal.
