Roasted Sweet Potato & Broccoli Buddha Bowl With Maple Tahini Dressing
A hearty and healthy Roasted Sweet Potato and Broccoli Buddha bowl topped with a delicious Maple Tahini Dressing: The perfect flavorful Vegan meal! Made with quinoa, this lunch bowl is gluten-free too!
After making that Thai Peanut Sweet Potato & Chicken Buddha Bowl some time ago, I just got way obsessed with the whole sweet potato and peanut sauce combo. I made it for lunch every day for a week straight and actually started running low on peanut butter!
So when I saw that jar of tahini at the back of my fridge, I just knew what my lunch plans for the next day would be.
The combination of that sauce with the very roasted veggies was so good, I’ve found my second love. Tahini really is such a hidden gem!
Try this buddha bowl for your next vegan or vegetarian meal prep lunch and you’re going to be just as hooked as I am!

Tips
- To cook quinoa: Rinse thoroughly in cold water (this is required to avoid any bitter taste). Bring ⅔ cup water and quinoa to a boil in saucepan. Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until quinoa is fluffy and all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to bowl.
