The Vegan Sweet Potato Chickpea Buddha Bowl is a vibrant, balanced, and nourishing plant-based meal featuring roasted sweet potatoes, crispy chickpeas, fresh veggies, grains, and a creamy tahini dressing. It’s customizable, satisfying, and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked grains (quinoa, brown rice, or farro)
  • 4 cups fresh greens (spinach, kale, or arugula)
  • 1 avocado, sliced or cubed
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage or carrots
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave
  • 2–4 tablespoons water (to thin dressing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on one side of the baking sheet.
  3. Toss chickpeas with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the other half of the baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until sweet potatoes are tender and chickpeas are golden and slightly crispy.
  5. While roasting, cook your grains according to package directions if not already prepared.
  6. Make the tahini dressing by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, a pinch of salt, and water until smooth and pourable.
  7. Assemble bowls: add a base of grains and greens, then top with roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, avocado, and shredded veggies.
  8. Drizzle with tahini dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use any cooked grain you like—quinoa and brown rice work well and are gluten-free.
  • Make it oil-free by roasting vegetables without oil (they will be less crispy).
  • Dressing can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • Air fry chickpeas for extra crunch if desired.
  • Best served fresh, but all components can be prepped ahead for meal prep.
