Instructions
 

Buddha bowl preparation:

  • Prepare the spring mix by washing and drying it thoroughly. Set aside.
  • Preheat your air fryer to the appropriate temperature for both sweet potatoes and chickpeas.
  • Prepare the sweet potatoes by peeling and cubing them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in the air fryer basket and cook until crispy and golden brown.
  • Rinse the chickpeas and pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss them with a bit of olive oil and any desired seasonings. Place them in the air fryer basket and cook until crispy.
  • While the sweet potatoes and chickpeas are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons of carrots, halve the cherry tomatoes, shred the cabbage, spiralize the cucumber, and steam the broccolini until tender-crisp. Set aside.
  • Season the chicken breast with your desired seasonings. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken breast until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
  • Prepare the Basil-Parmesan Dressing by combining basil leaves, freshly grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic clove, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction in a food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Assemble the buddha bowl:

  • Divide the spring mix among serving bowls.
  • Arrange the cooked sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and prepared vegetables on top of the greens.
  • Slice the cooked chicken breast and add it to the bowls.
  • Drizzle the Basil-Parmesan Dressing over each bowl.
  • Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions.
