Instructions

This was so amazing that I didn’t even need a sauce – thanks so much for the recipe!!
OhhEmmGee. This was phenomenal. I never thought of roasting the kale/spinach but it worked. I’m trying to have more meatless meals and the variations here are endless. I’m eating it now and can’t wait for leftovers for lunch.
So glad you love this recipe!
The flavor on this recipe far exceeded my expectations! I really thought it was just going to taste like, well…vegetables. But it is definitely full of flavor! I topped my bowls with some avocado green goddess dressing and loved every bite.
Glad you loved this!!
Do you have a recipe for the sauce you used?!
It’s tahini!
Best Buddha bowl recipe to date!
YAY!!
Love the recipe and have made it a few times at least. It goes a long way.
Just wants to ask where did you get those bowls
I made the ones in the photos <3
Hi great dish
Where did you buy !? What’s the brand please
Hi! I actually made this bowl myself <3
The flavors were quite yummy! Although, I felt it needed more of a dressing or a way to stretch the tahini which I drizzled on top. After several bites I decided to squeeze some fresh lemon over it and it really brightened it up! I made this for a dinner main and found it was just a little over 2 servings with plenty of quinoa and potato left over. The greens however were devoured! I’ll definitely make the greens again as they were quite good. It’s possible to get 6 very small lunch size portions out of this if you measured carefully. My sweet potato was large enough to fill a 4 cup measure, I appreciate being given the measured amounts vs just saying 2 large sweet potatoes. There’s so much of a variance in produce. A hearty tasty salad, give it a try!
OMG! We are so happy that you enjoyed the Buddha Bowl recipe!!
I have everything I need on hand and will try making these bowls. Yum!
I tried this recipe this evening ! I didn’t have kale so I substituted with bukchoy! This recipe is so yummy, full of flavor, texture and healthy! Thanks do much for sharing!
This looks so filling and tasty! Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to give this a try.
I normally don’t leave comments but this was SO GOOD! I made a lemon tahini dressing for it and oh goodness, this is going to be a regular meal now. Thank you!!
Lemon tahini dressing…yes please!
Perfect for lunch or dinner! I just had a bowl of caramelized onions, roasted Brussels sprouts, and grilled tomatoes today. I plan on having another Buddha bowl tonight for dinner. YUM!
This looks so good, I’m craving sweet potatoes lately so can’t wait to try this. Yums!!!
I want this for lunch right now… and it’s only 10:30am! YUM.
