Spiced Chickpea and Sweet Potato Buddha Bowls

A vibrant and flavorful vegetarian meal packed with nutrients and satisfying spice.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup chopped kale
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup toasted pepitas

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potato with olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  2. While the sweet potato is roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add chickpeas and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. To assemble bowls, divide quinoa evenly among serving bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, spiced chickpeas, kale, feta cheese, and pepitas.

Enjoy!
