Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water, then cook it with 2 cups of water until all water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside. Peel and dice 2 sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and caramelized. Drain and rinse 1 can of chickpeas. Pat dry and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a separate baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes or until crispy. While the chickpeas and sweet potatoes are roasting, de-stem and chop 4 cups of kale. Massage with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt until tender. In a small bowl, whisk together 0.25 cup of tahini, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 clove of garlic (minced), and 3 tablespoons of water until smooth. Adjust consistency with more water if necessary. Slice 2 avocados into thin slices. To assemble the bowls, divide quinoa among 4 bowls. Top with equal portions of roasted sweet potatoes, crispy chickpeas, kale, and avocado slices. Drizzle each bowl with the creamy tahini dressing. For a balanced bowl, aim to include a mix of textures and flavors: creamy (avocado, dressing), crunchy (chickpeas), sweet (sweet potatoes), earthy (quinoa, kale), and tangy (dressing).Perfect for: Meal planning, weekly preparation, home cooking Tags: vegetarian, healthy, gluten-free, lunchThis Build-Your-Own Buddha Bowl recipe is designed for easy meal planning and preparation.
