Vegan Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl (GF)

This Vegan Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl is the perfect easy, tasty and healthy plant-based meal. Who said veggies were boring?

I am obsessed with hummus, and had been thinking of ways to incorporate it into my diet other than just with having it with pitta bread or raw veggies. I love adding it to bowls with brown rice or quinoa, as it pairs beautifully with nutty grains and other veggies.

I especially love this Vegan Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl as it incorporates all the things I love in life in one meal: think perfectly spiced sweet potato wedges, sweet juicy cranberries, toasty sunflower seeds paired with buttery avocado, balsamic-dressed, peppery rocket and tangy, garlicky hummus on a bed of nutty brown rice.

If you’re looking for other ways to use these ingredients, I used a similar combination of flavours in this Hummus Toasted Sandwich.

This bowl is my go-to meal when I want something quick and easy to make that’s also super filling and satisfying. If you’re wondering what a Buddha Bowl is, I’d say it’s basically a great way to pack all your favourite ingredients into one dish and give it a fancy name!
