Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spread them onto the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
  • Slice the watermelon radish (or red radishes) into thin rounds. Use a vegetable peeler to create beautiful ribbons out of the carrots.
  • Mix the radish slices, carrot ribbons, and shredded red cabbage in a large bowl. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the mixture and toss it gently to combine.
  • Massage the kale leaves in a separate bowl with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt until they become soft and wilted.
  • Assemble your Buddha bowls starting with the cooked brown rice or quinoa, add the roasted sweet potatoes, kale, braised vegetables, chickpeas, sauerkraut, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and microgreens if using. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with a generous drizzle of the Turmeric Tahini Sauce.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with avocado slices for added creaminess. Store assembled bowls in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
