Okay queens, let me share this absolutely divine recipe that’s been making waves in my kitchen! Trust me, you’ll want to bookmark this one – it’s my Honey-Glazed Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl with Crispy Chickpeas. It’s healthy, filling, and honestly, it’s so Instagram-worthy you’ll want to snap pics before diving in (I know I do! 😉).
Let’s get real for a minute – who has time for complicated recipes that require a million ingredients? Not me, sis! This bowl is perfect for those busy afternoons when you want something nutritious but also want to feel like you’re treating yourself.
Here’s what you’ll need (I promise it’s not overwhelming):
– 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
– 1 can chickpeas, drained and patted dry
– 2 cups fresh kale
– 1 avocado
– Quinoa (about 1 cup uncooked)
– Honey
– Olive oil
– Your favorite seasonings (I’m obsessed with garlic powder, paprika, and cumin)
Girl, let me walk you through this…
First, preheat that oven to 400°F (I always forget this part and have to wait – don’t be like me! 🤦♀️). Toss those sweet potato cubes with olive oil and seasonings, then spread them on a baking sheet. On another sheet, spread out your chickpeas with olive oil and seasonings. Pop both in the oven!
Quick pause! If you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on NewsBreak for more delicious creations like this one. I share new recipes daily, and trust me, they’re all just as yummy as this one!
Back to cooking! While everything’s roasting (25-30 minutes for both), cook your quinoa according to package instructions. I like to use vegetable broth instead of water for extra flavor – little chef’s secret! 😉
Once your potatoes and chickpeas are looking gorgeous and golden (chickpeas should be crispy!), drizzle the sweet potatoes with honey. Massage your kale with a tiny bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt – yes, literally massage it! Think spa day for your greens!
Now for the fun part – assembly! Layer your quinoa, then add your roasted sweet potatoes, crispy chickpeas, massaged kale, and sliced avocado. I like to finish with an extra drizzle of honey and maybe some seeds for crunch.
Y’all, this bowl is seriously life-changing. It’s got protein, healthy fats, complex carbs – everything you need to feel like a queen for the rest of your day! Plus, it’s meal-prep friendly if you want to make extra for tomorrow (future you will thank present you!).
