Building the Ultimate Bowl

The key to a fantastic macro bowl starts with a base of roasted sweet potatoes and a generous serving of grains such as quinoa or brown rice. Layer on crispy chickpeas, leafy greens (like arugula or spinach), and slices of creamy avocado. The magic is in the toppings: a punchy lemon-tahini sauce, a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds, and a scattering of fresh herbs or microgreens elevate every bite. Customize your bowl with roasted veggies, edamame, or pickled onions to suit your mood and nutritional needs.

Perfect Prep for Maximum Flavor

For best results, roast your sweet potatoes until caramelized and tender. If preparing chickpeas, toss them in a bit of olive oil, cumin, and smoked paprika before roasting for extra crunch and flavor. Prepare the grains ahead of time to streamline assembly. While the sweet potatoes cook, whisk together the lemon-tahini dressing for a creamy, tangy finish.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
