A buddha bowl gets its name because it should be packed so full that it has a rounded ‘belly’ appearance on the top much like the belly of a buddha. Here's a recipe for a flavorful buddha bowl.

2 Tbsp Olive, melted coconut, or avocado oil
1/2 medium red onion (sliced in wedges)
2 sweet potatoes or regular potatoes (cut into small chunks)

  3. After 15 minutes, take pan out of the oven and add chopped veggies drizzled with oil (broccoli, carrots, etc.) to the pan and put back in the oven for 10-15 more minutes. *you can also throw in a handful of spinach the last couple minutes
