Mushroom Quinoa Buddha Bowl
A Buddha bowl is a popular dish that combines a variety of nutrient-rich ingredients in a single bowl. Quinoa is one of the best plant-based protein sources, making it the perfect base for this dish. Roasted sweet potatoes and sautéed mushrooms add rich flavor, while chickpeas provide extra protein. Bowls like this are the perfect choice for those looking for a healthy, filling and quick-to-prepare vegan meal. A freshly made, colorful Buddha bowl is not only delicious, but also aesthetically pleasing on the plate.

Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under running water. Cook it in twice the amount of water for 15 minutes, or until tender and the water has been absorbed.
2
Peel the sweet potato and cut it into small cubes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
3
Finely chop the red onion and garlic. Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
4
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
5
Rinse the chickpeas and add them to the mushrooms. Sprinkle with cumin seeds and sauté for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6
Leave the spinach fresh, or if desired, wilt it in a skillet with a little olive oil for 1-2 minutes.
7
In a large bowl, arrange the quinoa, roasted sweet potato, sautéed mushrooms and chickpeas, and fresh spinach.
8
Drizzle with a little lemon juice, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
