Sweet Potato & Kale Buddha Bowl

Buddha bowls work best when each component is simple on its own — roasted sweet potato, wilted kale, plain cooked quinoa — and it's the tahini-lemon dressing pulled over the top that ties them together.

With chickpeas providing the protein and nothing animal-derived anywhere on the ingredient list, this bowl fits comfortably into a vegan diet without needing any swaps. Roasting the sweet potatoes while the kale sautés and the dressing gets whisked means everything is ready around the same time, so it's more efficient than it looks on paper. A drizzle of maple syrup in the dressing rounds out the lemon's sharpness nicely.
