Ingredients
4 cups peeled and cubed sweet potato (about 2 medium potatoes)
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (typically 15 ounces or about 1 ½ cups after draining)
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1–2 tablespoons chili powder, depending on spice preference
2 teaspoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup grain of choice (such as quinoa, rice, or millet)
1 head broccoli, chopped
1 ½ cups shelled edamame
1 avocado
½ batch Thai Peanut Sauce
½ cup chopped peanuts
½ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
1-Start by heating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, the key first step for roasting the main components. Toss the 4 cups of peeled and cubed sweet potato and the drained chickpeas with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1-2 tablespoons of chili powder, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes until everything mixes well. Spread this on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30-35 minutes until the sweet potato turns tender and the flavors deepen.
2-While that cooks, prepare your grain by simmering 1 cup of your choice, like quinoa, in vegetable broth following the package directions for extra taste. In another pot, steam the chopped head of broccoli and 1 ½ cups of shelled edamame with about 1 inch of water for 5-7 minutes until just tender, then drain the water. This keeps the veggies crisp and adds a fresh vibe.
3-To put it all together, layer your bowl with the cooked grain as the base, then add the steamed broccoli, edamame, roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and sliced avocado. Drizzle on half a batch of Thai Peanut Sauce for creamy goodness, and finish with ½ cup each of chopped cilantro and chopped peanuts. For a bit more heat, sprinkle extra red pepper flakes on top. This approach makes the bowl adaptable, so feel free to swap grains or veggies based on what you have.
