Ingredients

– 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
– 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
– 1 cup of chopped kale or spinach
– 1 cup of chopped bell peppers (any color)
– 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
– 3 tablespoons of soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
– 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey
– 1 tablespoon of lime juice
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional toppings: crushed peanuts, cilantro, sesame seeds, and lime wedges


Instructions

Creating your Thai Peanut Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Toss the diced sweet potatoes in a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
3. Roast: Place sweet potatoes in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until they’re tender and golden.
4. Cook Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
5. Prepare Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and a splash of water to thin it out. Mix until smooth and adjust the consistency as desired.
6. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add chopped kale or spinach and bell peppers. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender.
7. Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl, layer cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and drizzle with peanut sauce.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle your favorite toppings, such as crushed peanuts, fresh cilantro, or sesame seeds.

These steps ensure that your Thai Peanut Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl is easy to prepare and sure to impress!
