Roasted Maple Acorn Squash & Turmeric Cauliflower Buddha Bowls

These roasted maple acorn squash and turmeric cauliflower buddha bowls are packed with some of my favorite fall flavors. This recipe is great for lunch or dinner and would be a perfect vegan option to serve at Thanksgiving. Once you’ve got all your roasted goodness in the bowl, drizzle with a simple maple tahini dressing.Roasted Maple Acorn Squash & Turmeric Cauliflower Buddha Bowls Roasted Maple Acorn Squash & Turmeric Cauliflower Buddha Bowls

I’m roasting acorn squash, cauliflower and chickpeas, but you can customize your buddha bowl with any produce you’d like (butternut squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, bussles sprouts, etc.). Adding avocado, topping with pumpkin seeds or slivered almonds, and swapping rice for quinoa are all other ideas for making this bowl your own.Roasted Maple Acorn Squash & Turmeric Cauliflower Buddha Bowls

You might recognize the chickpea component of these buddha bowls from last week (check out the post here). The roasted maple acorn squash also makes for a great side on its own (top the slices with a little bit of hummus—so good!).

Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers (Vegan)

Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers - vegan and gluten-free

This recipe was originally published on December 14, 2014. It’s one of my favorites and was deserving of some new photography so I gave it a little facelift. Make these sweet potato veggie burgers today and freeze the leftover patties so you have them on hand for weeks to come. Original blog post below!

In coming up with recipes lately, my focus has been on recreating things I find myself buying constantly. Every time I go to the grocery store, I pick up some frozen veggie burgers. And every time I tell myself I should just make my own. The first attempt resulted in patties of baby food mush. Yummy baby food, but … baby food. It’s funny how with cooking, sometimes the tiniest ingredient or technique tweak can make a world of difference—I made a couple tiny changes for round two and BOOM. Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers -- vegan, gluten-free and a great option for food prepping for the week!

I’m so in love with these. I make a batch at the start of the week and pop ‘em in the freezer to have on hand. They can be served as a burger (duh), on top of a salad (my favorite way to eat them!) or mashed up with some scrambled eggs for breakfast. Talk about a food prepper’s dream!

I’m not vegan or gluten-intolerant, but it was so easy to make these without eggs or gluten that I went for it. (The buns pictured aren’t gluten-free—I’m just referring to the patty!)Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers - vegan and gluten-free

Holy tacos, Batman! These chipotle roasted cauliflower tacos are ridiculous. Once you have the chipotle sauce (recipe posted on Sunday) they’re super easy to make and you can customize them with your favorite tacos fillers. Between the chipotle sauce and the seasoning for the roasted cauliflower, the flavor is out of this world. Make these for Cinco de Mayo, Taco Tuesday or any day of the week.

Look at that beautiful beast of a taco. This recipe produced six tacos for me, as mentioned above, but as you can see, I made them pretty big. If you’re using smaller tortillas, you could easily get eight or more from the recipe. If you have leftovers, you can absolutely store them in the refrigerator for a few days. I’d recommend keeping the ingredients stored in separate containers for the best results.

Unless you drown the tacos in it, you’ll definitely have chipotle sauce leftover. Use it as a dip or in a Buddha bowl if you run out of the chipotle roasted cauliflower tacos before the sauce.
