Sweet Potato
- 1 medium sweet potato, halved (skin on)
- 1/4 tsp avocado oil
Parsley Salad
- 1 cup finely chopped parsley
- 1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper or cherry tomatoes
- 3 Tbsp diced red onion
- 1 ½ Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 healthy pinch each sea salt and black pepper
Sauce
- 1/2 batch 4-Ingredient Dill Garlic Sauce (made with hummus, lemon juice, dill, minced garlic)
For Serving
- 2 cups chopped romaine (preferably romaine hearts)
- 2 Tbsp hummus (or store-bought)
- 1 Tbsp sauerkraut (or store-bought)
- 1 Tbsp tahini
- 2–3 tsp za’atar (or store-bought)
- Lemon wedges (optional)
- 1 Tbsp dulse (or other sea vegetable or sprout of choice, optional)
- Chili garlic sauce (optional)
- Roast the Sweet Potato: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Rub the halved sweet potato with avocado oil to coat. If your sweet potato is large, cut into quarters or wedges to speed cooking. Bake for about 25 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Prepare Parsley Salad: While the sweet potato roasts, combine the finely chopped parsley, red bell pepper or cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss well to combine. Adjust lemon juice or seasoning to taste and set aside.
- Make the Dill Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together hummus, lemon juice, fresh or dried dill, and minced garlic. Stir thoroughly and taste. Adjust seasoning by adding more salt, lemon juice, garlic, or dill as preferred. If the sauce is too thick or strong, thin with a little water or more hummus until it’s pourable.
- Assemble the Nourish Bowl: In a large serving bowl, add chopped romaine lettuce, parsley salad, roasted sweet potato pieces, hummus, sauerkraut, tahini, and sprinkle with za’atar. Optionally serve with lemon wedges, dulse, and chili garlic sauce on top for extra flavor.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy the bowl fresh for the best taste. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator separately: sweet potatoes for 2-3 days, greens/parsley salad for 3-4 days, and sauce for 4-5 days. Reheat sweet potatoes at 375°F (190°C) or on the stovetop until hot.
Notes
- Use convection oven setting to reduce cooking time if available.
- You can sub red bell pepper with cherry tomatoes in the parsley salad.
- Adjust sauce consistency by adding water or hummus to achieve a pourable texture.
- Keeping components separate when storing helps maintain freshness.
- Dulse and chili garlic sauce add extra layers of flavor but are optional.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
