Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potato.
  2. Roast Sweet Potato: Toss the halved sweet potato with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut butter, a pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt, and ground turmeric to taste. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Cook Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa thoroughly. In a small pot, combine 1/2 cup quinoa, 1 cup water, 1 clove of minced garlic, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  4. Sauté Mushrooms: Heat a pan over medium heat with 1/2 teaspoon coconut butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and 1 minced garlic clove. Season with ground turmeric, paprika, and pink Himalayan sea salt to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
  5. Prepare Avocado Mix: In a bowl, mash the avocado and season with the juice of 1/2 lemon and a pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt. Mix well to combine.
  6. Arrange Lettuce: Place 4 handfuls of fresh lettuce directly onto your serving plate as the base for the bowl.
  7. Assemble Buddha Bowl: Layer the roasted sweet potato, cooked quinoa, sautéed mushrooms, canned chickpeas, avocado mix, and radish slices over the lettuce. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds on top for a final garnish.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while the sweet potatoes and mushrooms are warm. Enjoy this colorful, nutrient-dense meal!

Notes

  • You can adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding more or less turmeric and paprika depending on your preference.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the coconut butter is plant-based and substitute any non-vegan ingredients if added.
  • Quinoa can be cooked in vegetable broth instead of water for extra flavor.
  • This bowl is excellent served warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for meal prep.
  • Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon at the end can brighten the flavors even more.
