HEALTHY BUDDHA BOWL WITH CREAMY TAHINI DRESSING (VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE)

Makes 1 serving

Ingredients

For the Buddha bowl:

• 3 young potatoes, washed and halved 
• a small beet, washed, peeled and cut into wedges (cut them a bit thinner than potatoes for similar cooking time)
• a handful of cooked wax beans
• red cabbage sauerkraut (or your favorite fermented food)
• half of an avocado
• a handful of cauliflower
• a handful of The Beginnings kale chips
• salt & pepper to taste 
• olive oil for baking

For the tahini dressing:

• 2 tbsp. tahini
• 1 tbsp. water
• 2 tsp light miso paste
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp date syrup (or another sweetener)

Method

1. Lay a pan with a baking paper, spread over the potatoes and beets. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180C for about 25 - 30 minutes until potatoes and beets are fork-tender. 
2. In the last 10 minutes of baking, add wax beans in the oven with salt and pepper to heat them.
3. While the veggies are baking, prepare the dressing. Put all the ingredients into a small bowl and whisk with a fork until smooth and creamy (you can also use a blender). 
4. Assemble the Buddha bowl – in a medium-size bowl add the cooked veggies and beans, sauerkraut, avocado, cauliflower and kale chips in the middle. Drizzle with the tahini dressing and enjoy!
