Thanks toΒ Harvest Snaps for sponsoring todayβs post. WeΒ cant.stop.snacking!
You guyyyys. I just hadΒ thisΒ Winter Vegetable Buddha Bowl for dinner last night (Meatless Monday for.the.win.) and I’m so ridiculously excited to share the recipeΒ with you today!
But wait.
What the heck is a Buddha Bowl?
Basically it’s a bowl full of all things healthy and delicious.
Usually there will be some sort of leafy green mixed with veggies, beans, grains, and if you want, you can add a sauce and some kind of crunchy element for texture.
The possibilities are literally endless, but today, I give you MY latest take on the buddha bowl with thisΒ Winter Vegetable Buddha Bowl Recipe.
Healthy food? You’ve never looked quite SOΒ goooooood.
So far, January has been an extremely busy month.
Which means I’ve been workingΒ more and sleeping less.
Which means I’ve developed a cold.
Which means I’m loading myself up with extraΒ healthy foods.
Bring ooooooon the smoothies and all the fruits and veggies I can get my hands on.
Enter: Winter Vegetable Buddha Bowl.
This buddha bowl is chock full of healthy deliciousness and lucky for me (since I’m under the weather) is also a cinch to make.
There are only THREE parts to today’s recipe:
- The Roasted Veggies
- The Tahini Sauce
- The Base + Toppings
Let’s start with the roasted veggies.
Simply place cubed butternut squash, halved brussels sprouts, and chickpeas (yes I knowΒ they’re not a veggie, but they get roasted too π ) on to a lined baking sheet and toss with sesame oil, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Roast until the veggies and chickpeas are p.e.r.f.e.c.t.l.y. tender.
I could just stop right there, because #yum, but it gets even better, I promise.
Next up, the tahini sauce.
So ridiculously easy. So ridiculously tasty.
To a mason jar, add tahini, oil, lemon juice, honey, water, garlic, and salt. Place the lid on and shake until combined!
That’s it. SOOOO easy and yummy, right?!
Lastly, we have the base + toppings.
The base is just spinach, so you’ll place that into your favorite bowl, and you’re done. π
But the toppings, we have two: crumbled feta <– heck yes, and Harvest Snaps Lightly Salted Snapea Crisps.
I LOVE adding the Snapea Crisps to my buddha bowl. It’s a great low calorie way to add some seriously great crunch. They’re also low in fat and high in protein and fiber, so I say, load ’em up! Plus, they’re baked (not fried), gluten free, and contain 50% less fat than regular chips, sooooo you better believe I’m gettin’ my snack on!
Now. To assemble the bowl.
Bowl –> spinach –> roasted veggies/chickpeas –> drizzle of sauce –> crumble of feta –> Snapea Crisps.
The assembledΒ Winter Vegetable Buddha Bowl is healthy food at it’s finest. I LOVE the subtle heat of the chili powder on the tender roasted vegetables. . . mix that with the creamiest tahini dressing, salty feta, and crunchy snapea crisps and it’s just. . .
It’s just too good!
