  • 1/2 large avocado peeled and sliced
  • ¼ red onion thinly sliced

For Serving:

Instructions

Prepare the Buddha Bowls:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or spray/lightly oil it).
  • Drizzle the sweet potato rounds with olive oil and use your hands to coat them so that all of the flesh is lightly coated in oil. Arrange the rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt and any spices you desire (I like using paprika and sometimes a tiny pinch of ground cinnamon). Bake on the center rack for 15 minutes. Flip the rounds and continue roasting until golden-brown on both sides and cooked through, about another 5 to 10 minutes.

Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:

  • While the sweet potato is roasting, heat up the black beans in a saucepan, prepare the cauliflower rice, and make the sauce.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the grated cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and cook down, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, and coriander, and continue cooking until cauliflower rice is tender and is beginning to brown, about 5 to 8 minutes.

Prepare the Turmeric Tahini Sauce:

  • Blend the ingredients for the sauce in a small blender or whisk in a small bowl until very well combined. Set aside until ready to use.

Make the Buddha Bowls:

  • Divide the cauliflower rice between 2 to 3 bowls, followed by the sweet potato rounds, black beans, kale, avocado, and red onion. Drizzle with turmeric tahini dressing and top with pumpkin seeds and hemp hearts if desired.
