Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1 avocado (sliced just before serving)
  • 1/2 cup carrots (grated or julienned)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup peanuts (chopped for garnish)
  • Olive oil for roasting
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy, natural style)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (to thin sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes.
  2. Spread diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown and fork-tender.
  3. While sweet potatoes roast, chop broccoli into florets, shred cabbage, and grate carrots. Set all prepped vegetables aside.
  4. Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until sauce reaches a pourable but creamy consistency.
  5. In a large bowl, combine broccoli florets, shredded cabbage, and grated carrots. Toss gently to mix.
  6. Divide vegetable mixture between two bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes. Slice avocado just before serving and add to bowls. Drizzle generously with peanut sauce.
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro and peanuts. Serve immediately or store components separately for meal prep.

Notes

  • Use room temperature peanut butter for smoothest sauce consistency. Natural, creamy style works best.
  • Store peanut sauce separately from vegetables to keep everything crisp for meal prep.
  • Substitute almond or cashew butter for peanut butter if preferred. Add extra water to thin as needed.
  • Add quinoa, brown rice, or tofu for extra protein and to make this bowl more filling.
