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:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
