Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven at 350°F.
  2. In a medium-sized pot add teff grain and 3 cups of water. Let this boil for 20 minutes.
  3. While that’s cooking add chickpeas, broccoli, sweet potatoes, 3 tablespoons avocado oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the tamari or soy sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic granules, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to a large bowl.
  4. Mix well and layer on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake 25 minutes or until sweet potato is fork tender. Remove from oven.
  6. When grain is done, remove from heat and rinse with cold water using a fine strainer since the teff is very small. Set aside.
  7. In a separate large bowl add the kale, cabbage, remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, Mix/massage for a few minutes. Set aside.
  8. Check the oven and make sure all veggies/legumes are cooked well. Turn off heat and set aside. Mix cherry tomatoes with the chopped dill and a dash of salt.
  9. To make the dressing, place all ingredients in a highspeed blender and blend until completely emulsified. The dressing should be smooth and creamy.
  10. Assemble bowls any way you want dividing ingredients evenly between 4-5 bowls.
