Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons white miso paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 cups cooked quinoa
2 cups kale, chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup cucumber, sliced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 green onions, sliced
1 cup baked tofu or chickpeas
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, and lime juice until smooth.
3. Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil and half of the miso glaze.
4. Spread the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast until tender and caramelized, flipping once halfway through cooking.
5. Warm the cooked quinoa if needed and lightly massage the kale so it softens a bit.
6. Arrange quinoa, kale, carrots, cucumber, avocado, and roasted sweet potatoes into bowls.
7. Add tofu or chickpeas if using, then drizzle with the remaining glaze.
8. Finish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the baking sheet, or the sweet potatoes will steam instead of roasting and you will miss those caramelized edges that give the bowl its best flavor.
