Single Serving Buddha Bowl with Tahini Honey Dressing

@cokocooks

I created this super simple buddha bowl recipe as an easy single serve recipe. It is so easy, healthy, and flavourful. If you are cooking for more then just yourself then of course triple or quadruple the ingredients. Another option would be to make some delicious leftovers that you can just pull out of the fridge, heat up, and throw together. These kind of bowls are on of my favorite meals because I can toss any vegetables and a variety of ingredients that I have on hand or need to use up. You could easily swap any potato, beans, and protein in the recipe.

Ingredients for single serving buddha bowl

Ingredients

This buddha bowl starts with a base of rice. I love the simplicity of the rice so all the veggies can shine, but any grain or even cauliflower rice would be delicious! Honestly I would just make it simple and use whatever you have in your pantry. I love all the flavors and textures this bowl is filled with. Roasted sweet potatoes are one of my favorite vegetables because they are hearty and pair so well with salty flavors. I roasted the pinto beans because I wanted to add a crunchy texture, but this step is absolutely not necessary. Any beans any way will work! I coated the tofu in my jerk seasoning, but any spices or flavors you enjoy can also be used. Or if you have chicken or another protein on hand you can make an easy sub. I used arugula in this bowl because first it was in my fridge but second I love the peppery taste it has. Avocado is definitely recommend for some creaminess and healthy fats. Now the dressing is so simple yet so tasty! It can be a used in a variety of dishes. The sweet, tangy, and salty flavors are all balanced together to make the perfect finishing touch to the bowl.

Single Serving Buddha Bowl with Tahini Honey Dressing

A combination of beans, roasted vegetables, and rice, with a delicious dressing

Prep Time 15

Cook Time 45

Servings

Calories 645kcal

Ingredients

1/2 medium sweet potato
1/2 cup pinto beans
1/4 block firm tofu
5 cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup cooked rice
handful of arugula
1/4 small avocado

Dressing

1 tbsp tahini
1 tsp honey
1/4 tsp chopped garlic
A little water if you want to thin

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 and place chopped sweet potato on 1/3 of a large roasting pan lined with parchment paper. (See Notes)
Dry drain and rinsed pinto beans with a bowl to remove excess water and place next the sweet potatoes on another 1/3 of the roasting pan. This step is optional and you do not need to roast the beans. I just like the crunchy texture
Dice up tofu and cover with your choice of seasoning. I used the jerk seasoning from my jerk seasoned sweet potatoes. Place on the last 3rd of the roasting pan. Place in the oven for about 35-45 minutes until tofu, beans, and veggies are crispy. Be sure to stir half way through cooking. (Beans may finish cooking before tofu and potatoes depending on how big you cut the potatoes and tofu)
While the tofu, beans, and potatoes roast cook your choice of grains according to package instructions. Then chop up the tomatoes and avocado and stir the dressing ingredients together until smooth.
Once the tofu, beans, potatoes are crispy then assemble everything in a large bowl to serve including the arugala
