Sweet Potato Balance Bowl

Select your language:

We called this a balance bowl because it is a nutritionally balanced plate. It contains a vegetarian protein source (chickpeas or other bean of choice), a whole grain (brown rice), and vegetables of choice. This is a compound recipe that makes use of several other recipes including tahini dressing, pickled onions and roasted chickpeas.
