Buddha Bowls

This looked like a worthwhile vegetarian recipe to try!  Why Buddha?  Supposedly it's a heaping, bulging bowl that fills you up, also no animals were harmed in the making of the meal...

Recipe

Veggies
1 sweet potato, halved (or pre-chopped, not sure why not...)
1/2 red onion, sliced
1 bundle broccolini, stemmed and chopped
1-2 handfuls kale, chopped

Chickpeas
1 can chickpeas, drained, rinsed & patted dry
1 tsp cumin
3/4 tsp chili powder
3/4 tsp garlic powder
Optional: oregano, turmeric

Sauce
1/4 c tahini
1 tbsp maple syrup
juice of 1/2 lemon

Start roasting your sweets (skin side down) and onions at 400 degrees, drizzled with olive oil and salt and pepper.  After 10 minutes, flip your sweets and add the broccolini, drizzling again...  After another 10, add the kale and drizzle again...  Bake 5 more minutes until ready to go!

Meanwhile, toss the chickpeas with the seasonings and saute in some oil, turning up the heat to brown as needed.  Also mix together the sauce, adding hot water to make it thinner and easier to spread.  Combine and eat!

Notes

Lots of great ingredients in there!  If anything, I over-drizzled and that kind of took over.  It's easy enough to do and adjust as your ingredients dictate, just keep an eye on the roast timing!
