Tips & Tricks For These Peanut Chickpea Sweet Potato Bowls

1. First things first, let’s talk about how to prep this dish. Get the sweet potatoes going in the oven and THEN prep everything for the greens and serving. You’ll have plenty of time while the potatoes bake and bonus, you’ll save yourself some overall recipe time (i.e. it will take you less than the listed 45 minutes).
2. Now, let’s chat about the peanut sauce. I highly encourage you to make the listed homemade peanut sauce because it is SO GOOD. It can absolutely be made in advance and keeps well in the fridge for up to one week. BUT! You could also use any peanut sauce that you like! Store-bought works in a pinch.
3. And finally, to keep this dish vegan and gluten free, be sure to check the ingredients in whatever peanut sauce you are using. The homemade sauce does contain some honey, but you can sub that out for maple syrup to make it vegan. Easy peasy.

Ingredients

For the sweet potatoes:

• 2 medium-large sweet potatoes, cut into ½ to ¾ inch chunks
• 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
• ⅓ cup peanut sauce, homemade or store-bought*

For the greens:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 5 cups bite-sized broccoli florets
• 16 ounces bok choy, ends trimmed, stems & leaves separated, then sliced
• ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper

For serving:

• roughly chopped peanuts
• thinly sliced green onion
• sliced avocado
• extra peanut sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

For the sweet potatoes:

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
2. Add the sweet potatoes and chickpeas to a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to combine and spread in an even layer.
3. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender. Remove from the oven.
4. Drizzle / spoon the peanut sauce over the potatoes, then toss gently to combine. Taste and season with salt / pepper as desired (this will depend on the peanut sauce you use!).

For the greens:

1. After the potatoes have been baking for about 15 minutes, add the olive oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. When hot, add in the broccoli florets and the bok choy stems. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes, until softened.
2. Add in the bok choy leaves, salt and pepper and continue to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the veggies are all tender. Remove from the heat.

To serve:

1. Add some of the sweet potato mixture to a bowl, along with some of the greens. Top with a good sprinkle of peanuts, green onion and some sliced avocado. Drizzle lightly with some extra peanut sauce, then serve!

Notes

*This homemade peanut sauce is my absolute favorite and what I use in these bowls!

Additionally, to keep these bowls vegan / dairy free / gluten free - be sure to use an appropriate peanut sauce.

These bowls make for a fantastic meal prep recipe. Let everything cool to room temp, then package up in containers. When ready to enjoy, just reheat and top with some avocado (the peanuts, green onion and drizzle can all be done when packaging them up)!
