Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl

Veggie bowls are among my favorite meals to make. They are lovely for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Even a snack! You can make them sweet or savory and fit just about any mood simply by altering the sauce or dressing.

I make mine different each time, but I often stick with similar dressings. It is a great meal for a family as well because you can almost do it like an “a-la-cart” dinner. Have the ingredients set out on the table or counter and people can just walk by and scoop up what their heart desires. I particularly like this because I have a group of diverse eaters.

Whatever is left over and be eaten the next day as well!

How to Make a Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Arrange sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a bit of oil. Bake for 10-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Meanwhile, steam or boil (your choice) broccoli.

Add all the dressing ingredients into a blender and blend until a smooth paste is formed. If you want a crunchy dip, save jalapenos to the end.

Divide vegetables between 3 serving bowls and top with avocado-Jalapeno dressing.

Can I Store Leftovers?

You sure can! I tend to store the sauce separately, however, so as to not make things overly soggy.

I get a large glass container and put everything in it. In my opinion, it is best to keep things in groups within the container, so I don’t really mix it all up, but I do store it together. And then the sauce goes in another container. Then into the fridge they go! I do not like to store them for more than a day or two because I do prefer to eat fresh foods.
