Number Of Ingredients 24

For the poblano tahini sauce:
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped poblano pepper
1 clove garlic, quartered
1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
For the Buddha bowls:
1 cup quinoa, rice, or farro (or any grain of your choice)
2 large sweet potatoes (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon orange zest
Sea salt
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry or 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 bunch Swiss chard, red, green, or rainbow, stemmed, leaves cut into 1-inch strips

Steps:

  • For the poblano tahini sauce:
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the poblano, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and 1/4 cup water and blend until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, add water as needed to reach the desired consistency.) Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Set aside. (The dressing can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)
  • For the Buddha bowls:
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • In a medium saucepan, cook the quinoa, rice, or farro according to the directions on the package.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, orange zest, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Spread the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Flip them with a spatula and roast until the potatoes are tender and beginning to brown, an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the chickpeas, 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, the paprika, cumin, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mix well until the chickpeas are thoroughly coated.
  • Spread the chickpeas on a rimmed baking sheet and roast with the sweet potatoes until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring them once halfway through.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until shimmering. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chard, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard begins to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover, add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until the chard is completely wilted and cooked through, an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Discard the garlic cloves.
  • Put 1/2 cup of the cooked grain in the bottom of each of four serving bowls. Top each bowl with equal portions of the roasted sweet potatoes, roasted chickpeas, and sautéed chard. Drizzle with the poblano tahini sauce and serve with extra sauce passed separately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and evenly shaped sweet potatoes without any blemishes or bruises. Avoid any that are soft or have cracks or cuts.
  • Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the sweet potatoes with a vegetable brush under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork: This will help the steam to escape during roasting and prevent the sweet potatoes from bursting.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and develop a crispy exterior.
  • Season the sweet potatoes with a variety of spices: This will add flavor and depth to the dish. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes hot: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Roasted and spiced sweet potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious side dish, give roasted and spiced sweet potatoes a try!
