One of my go-to's when I first started changing my diet was Buddha Bowls. They are so simple and have so many varieties! You can add any veggies you like or just any that might be on their way out in your refrigerator. However, one thing I never perfected was a sauce that I absolutely LOVED. I had a few that I liked and used consistently, but after playing around I finally have made the best sauce for your next Buddha Bowl.
I made a Tahini sauce with a secret ingredient that has its own added health benefits- bone broth! Specifically, I like Fond Bone Broth because they have so many delicious flavors. This sauce is thick enough to coat your veggies but light enough to not overpower the natural goodness of your fresh veggies. It is also good for your gut health!
Now for the Buddha Bowls- I do have some specific veggies I always have in my average bowl, but I am never afraid to mix it up with the season! These bowls are great for dinner or even for lunch all week because they travel easily. I also always use chicken In mine. However, you can switch up the protein or even make these vegetarian for your meatless Monday. Just add some beans and grains if you are not on a Whole30.
Tips for Buddha Bowls:
- I actually use my oven for this one (shocker) but you can also use your air fryer. I roast my veggies on two sheet pans so they aren't too crowded.
- Like I said- don't be afraid to change up your protein.
- You can always add any grains (rice, quinoa, buckwheat, etc) if those sit well with you. If grains don't sit well, cauliflower rice is always a good substitute, too!
- Always roast your "heartier" veggies on the same pan and your more delicate veggies on another.
- Make extra of the Tahini sauce for another meal or even a salad dressing.
If you like trying different sauces another one of my favorites is the one in my Asian Chicken Meatball recipe!
Fond Bone Broth is my preferred brand for bone broth to sip or cook with! You can use the code ALTITUDE for 20% off your first order. You can make your own bundle to get all the flavors that suit you best!
Buddha Bowls
Ingredients
Buddha Bowl
- 1 lb Chicken Breast
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 head Broccoli
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
- 2 small Red Potatoes
- ½ Red Onion
- 1 cup Mushrooms
- 2 cups Brussel Sprouts
- 2 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
Tahini Sauce
- ¼ cup Fond Bone Broth- Liquid Light Flavor
- ¼ cup tahini
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and heat a pan to medium-high heat on the stove.
- While everything is heating up, chop all your veggies to equal size pieces. I like to make them all about 1-inch pieces.
- Put your potatoes and Brussels sprouts on one sheet pan and the rest of the veggies evenly spaced on another pan. Coat all your veggies (on both pans) with olive oil and everything bagel seasoning.
- Cook the potatoes and Brussels sprouts for about 10 minutes before you put the other pan in the oven. Cook both until veggies are fork-tender- this should take about another 15 minutes.
- While your veggies are cooking, butterfly your chicken breast and add to your hot pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with everything bagel seasoning on both sides and cook until the internal temp is 160 degrees. This should only take about 10 minutes.
- Combine all your tahini sauce ingredients into a bowl and whisk together until smooth.
- When your veggies and chicken are finished, serve some of each veggie and sliced chicken into a bowl. Drizzle tahini sauce over the top and enjoy!
