The Fall Bowl We're Obsessed With
As the weather starts cooling down across the USA, we're all about food that feels warm, nourishing, and comforting — without being boring.
This colorful fall bowl has everything going on: caramelized sweet potato, crispy chickpeas, creamy avocado, fresh kale, nutty quinoa, crunchy pumpkin seeds, and a generous drizzle of i Am Hot Honey to bring it all together.
Sweet. Savory. Spicy. Crunchy. Creamy. Basically, all the good things in one bowl.
And while we love food that tastes incredible, we also love simple ingredients that help us feel good. This bowl is naturally packed with fiber, plant-based protein, colorful vegetables, and healthy fats — making it an easy lunch or dinner when you want something satisfying but still fresh.
🍠 Recipe at a Glance
Serves: 2 generous bowls
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30–35 minutes
🛒 What You'll Need
For the Bowl
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into bite-size cubes
- 1 can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and dried
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 2 cups kale, roughly chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- i Am Hot Honey, for drizzling
For the Lemon Tahini Dressing
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1–2 tablespoons warm water
- Pinch of sea salt
👩🍳 How to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Roast the sweet potato. Place the cubes on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with half the olive oil, season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and toss until evenly coated.
- Add the chickpeas. On another section of the baking sheet (or a second sheet), spread out the chickpeas. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season lightly with salt.
- Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the sweet potato is beautifully caramelized and the chickpeas are golden and crispy.
- Massage the kale. Add it to a bowl with a small drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon, then massage with your hands for about 30 seconds. This softens the kale and makes it much more enjoyable to eat raw.
- Make the dressing. Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Slowly add warm water until you reach a creamy, pourable consistency.
- Build your bowls. Divide the quinoa and kale between two bowls. Add the roasted sweet potato, crispy chickpeas, and sliced avocado. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and drizzle generously with the lemon tahini dressing.
- Finish with i Am Hot Honey. That little hit of sweet heat against the roasted sweet potato is seriously good. ✨
