Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 medium beets, peeled and cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2–3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Optional toppings: fresh parsley or cilantro, toasted pumpkin seeds or sliced almonds, avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes and beets into roughly 1-inch pieces. Slice the red bell pepper into strips and break broccoli into bite-sized florets.
  3. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, beets, bell pepper, broccoli, and chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the veggies in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, giving them room to roast properly.
  6. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until veggies are tender and caramelized and chickpeas are crispy. If needed, roast chickpeas an additional 5 minutes.
  7. While veggies roast, cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions (quinoa takes about 15 minutes). Fluff with a fork when done.
  8. Prepare the tahini drizzle by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and maple syrup in a small bowl. Slowly add water until the sauce is creamy and pourable. Season with salt to taste.
  9. Assemble the Buddha bowl by spooning quinoa or rice into bowls, topping with roasted veggies and chickpeas, then drizzling generously with tahini sauce.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs, toasted seeds, or avocado slices if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure caramelization. Dry chickpeas thoroughly for crispiness. Roasting at high heat (425°F) helps achieve golden edges. Add water slowly to tahini sauce to avoid graininess. Store leftovers separately and reheat veggies in the oven to maintain crispiness. Tahini sauce may thicken in the fridge; whisk or add water before serving.
