Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 cup roasted sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup chopped cucumbers
- 1/2 cup sliced radishes
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or basil)
- Cooked chickpeas or grilled chicken (optional for extra protein)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by cooking your preferred grain such as quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, spread it evenly in your serving bowls to form the nourishing foundation of your Nourish Bowl.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 25-30 minutes until they are tender and golden brown. Add these to your bowls for a hearty, sweet element.
- Thresh the shredded carrots, chopped cucumbers, and sliced radishes. Arrange them neatly over the grains in your bowls to add crunch and vibrancy.
- In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and honey. Slowly add water to reach your desired consistency. Season with a pinch of salt. This dressing not only adds creaminess but also enhances the flavor of your bowl.
- Place roasted sweet potatoes, fresh vegetables, and sliced avocado on top of the grains. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs for an aromatic touch. Drizzle generously with the tahini yogurt dressing for a harmonious blend of flavors.
Notes
- Store leftover components separately in airtight containers for freshness. Reheat grains and roasted vegetables gently before assembly. Prepare parts in advance for quick serving.
- Customize the bowl by adding proteins like grilled shrimp or tofu, or experimenting with different toppings such as nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
- The tahini yogurt dressing can be made dairy-free by substituting Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or plant-based alternatives.
