Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes or yams
  • Olive oil spray
  • 2 pinches of smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 cups water
  • 1½ cups roasted buckwheat groats (kasha)
  • 2 to 3 cups chopped spinach
  • 1½ cups cooked, warm kidney beans
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced
  • Pickled Red Cabbage & Onion Relish
  • Lemon Tahini Sauce
  • Avocado Ranch Dressing
  • ⅓ cup toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread out the sweet potato cubes on the pan and spray with olive oil. Add the paprika, salt, and pepper and toss to coat.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until tender and browned, tossing once halfway through to ensure even cooking. Set aside to cool.
  • While the sweet potatoes are cooking, cook the buckwheat groats: Bring the water to a boil in a medium pot. Add the buckwheat groats and return to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until most of the water has been absorbed, 11 to 12 minutes. Remov
  • To serve, fill each bowl with spinach, buckwheat groats, beans, sweet potato, cucumber, avocado, and cabbage relish. Drizzle with dressing and top with toasted pepitas.
