Sweet Potato Tahini Bowls are the perfect vegetarian meal! They have all the nutrition of a salad, but will certainly leave you feeling fuller longer.
A rainbow of vegetables and sweet potatoes are roasted in the oven with Heinen’s olive oil and spices to create tender, sweet plant-based bites that pair great with grains. These bowls are finished with a drizzle of Heinen’s creamy natural almond butter and tahini.
Grain bowls are a great way to incorporate healthy ingredients into your weekly meals. The nice thing is that they can be customized based on your family’s taste preferences. I like to meal-prep the ingredients on a Sunday so we can quickly assemble these bowls for a lunch or dinner throughout the week.
