This nourishing Roasted Potato & Lentil Buddha Bowl features roasted broccoli, crispy lentils, kale, lemon tahini dressing, almonds, and pomegranate seeds. A hearty, vegan-friendly meal!
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the chopped gold potatoes and broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly over ¾ of the prepared baking sheet. Add the cooked lentils to the same bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat the lentils evenly, then spread over the remaining ¼ of the baking sheet.
Roast everything in the oven for 35-40 minutes, tossing the veggies and lentils halfway through.
Make the Lemon Tahini Dressing
In a small jar or bowl, combine all the ingredients for the lemon tahini dressing. Whisk until smooth, adding water as needed to achieve a creamy, pourable consistency.
Prepare the kale
Remove the stems from the kale and wash thoroughly. Cut into bite-sized pieces, then sauté in a pan over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of water for about 3-5 minutes, until wilted and vibrant green.
Assemble the Bowl
Time to assemble! Start by layering a base of sautéed kale, followed by the roasted potatoes, broccoli, and crispy lentils. Drizzle with the lemon tahini dressing and top with pomegranate seeds and sliced almonds. Enjoy!
