What is a Buddha Bowl?
A Buddha bowl is a vegetarian meal, consisting of small portions of veggies, whole grains such as quinoa or brown rice, and plant proteins such as chickpeas or tofu served warm or cold. We love Buddha Bowls and have been enjoying them for a while now. Recently we saw the Netflix series Buddha - after which I thought, I know why it’s called a buddha bowl. After achieving Nirvana, Siddhartha Gautama became Buddha or the awakened one! He always begged for alms for his only meal of the day and enjoyed them in that one bowl. Hence I think it’s called BUDDHA BOWL. But a lot of people believe that the Buddha bowl resembles the shape of “Laughing Buddha’s belly”. That fat jolly fella isn’t the awakened One - founder of Buddhism! How interesting is this!
How To Assemble this Vegan Buddha Bowl with sweet potatoes and chickpeas?
I like my Vegan Buddha Bowls pretty! So I really take the color into account while assembling it. To create this Buddha Bowl with Sweet potatoes, I chose my veggies - Sweet Potato, Cabbage, Spinach, Red Pepper, and Avocado. Some Roasted chickpeas for a little crunch. Also served them on a bed of brown rice. You can also substitute rice for quinoa. Vegan Green Goddess Dressing for a delicious spin with added flavors. Roast the sweet potato and chickpeas together in the same tray. If you prefer roasted red peppers, add them too. I like it raw, so did not add it to my baking tray. While the sweet potatoes are getting roasted, start preparing the bowls. First, start with a bed of brown rice or quinoa. On the top of the rice, add the remaining ingredients spinach, avocado, and red peppers until you get them around the bowl. Finally, add the roasted potatoes and chickpeas once they are ready. I like to finish off with a drizzle of my delicious Green Goddess Dressing and fresh lemon juice for extra deliciousness! Also, sprinkle some sesame seeds on the avocado for texture.
