Thai Peanut Sweet Potato Broccoli Buddha Bowl
Ingredients:
Veggies
2 sweet potatoes, peeled chopped into 1-inch cubes
1 head broccoli, cut into large bite-size pieces
2 carrots, peeled and chopped into 2-inch long x 1/2-inch thick strips
6-8 large brussels sprouts, quartered (or 10 small, halved)
Seasoning for Veggies
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon basil
dash cayenne pepper
Thai Peanut Sauce
1/3 cup natural peanut butter (the kind you have to stir)
4-6 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Serve with:
Quinoa, rice, or cauliflower rice
Cilantro (optional)
Dry roasted peanuts, chopped (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
Add all chopped vegetables to a large bowl. Add olive oil and seasonings. Mix together
to evenly coat veggies in oil/seasoning mixture. Spread evenly into a single layer on the
baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until veggies are fork tender.
Meanwhile, whisk together Thai peanut sauce mixture in a medium bowl. It’s going to seem like you added too much water at first, but you didn’t— just keep whisking with a
fork! Cook quinoa/rice according to package instructions.
When veggies are finished baking, assemble the bowls. Add quinoa/rice and veggies to each bowl and drizzle generously with Thai Peanut Sauce. Top with cilantro and chopped peanuts if desired.
