If I had a dollar for every time I made this buddha bowl recipe, I'd have a lot of dollars. This gluten free and vegan meal is so delicious! It's great for a group meal, or to meal prep at the beginning of the week.
Credit to this recipe is Loving it Vegan - it provided the core components and I changed up some of the pieces!
This post is about making the most delicious buddha bowl recipe!
The core pieces I use from LovingitVegan, are the tofu marinade, and the tahini sauce.
Here are the ingredients for both:
For the Tofu:
- 1 block of tofu
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
For the Tahini Dressing:
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ½ teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1-2 tablespoons water to thin it out
The rest of the ingredients:
- broccoli
- red pepper
- cherry tomatoes
- sweet potatoes (I use this often instead of squash!)
- quinoa
Buddha Bowl Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees to prep for the sweet potato
- While it's preheating, start by pressing the tofu to get all the moisture out - this is important so the marinade gets absorbed
- Peel and chop the sweet potato to small chunks (I like to do coins then in quarters)
- Toss the sweet potato in olive oil, then add a tasteful amount of pepper, salt, garlic powder, and if you're feeling spicy - cayenne pepper!
- Once that's done, put the potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes
- While it's in there, toss the broccoli in olive oil and throw on some salt and pepper
- Place the broccoli on one half of a baking sheet
- Marinate the tofu in a bowl, and place it on the other half of the baking sheet
- Next, throw the baking sheet in with the sweet potato for 20 minutes
- While that's in there, cool your quinoa! It should only take about 15 minutes
- While you're waiting for it to all be ready, make the tahini sauce for drizzling on your bowls
- Finally, slice up some cherry tomatoes and red pepper
- When everything is ready, assemble!
