# What You'll Need:

→ Roasted Sweet Potatoes

01 - 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Fresh Vegetables

05 - 1 cup broccoli florets
06 - 1 cup shredded green cabbage
07 - 1/2 cup grated carrots
08 - 1 avocado, sliced

→ Garnishes

09 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
10 - 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

→ Thai Peanut Sauce

11 - 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
12 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
13 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup
14 - 1 tablespoon lime juice
15 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
16 - 2 to 3 tablespoons warm water

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F.
02 - Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.
03 - While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the fresh vegetables: cut broccoli into bite-sized florets, shred the cabbage, grate the carrots, and slice the avocado.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons of warm water. Add more water, a little at a time, until the sauce is creamy and pourable.
05 - Divide broccoli, cabbage, carrots, and avocado among four bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes. Drizzle generously with peanut sauce.
06 - Garnish with chopped cilantro and peanuts. Serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together in under an hour, making it perfect for those nights when you need dinner on the table without the stress.
  • The creamy peanut sauce tastes so indulgent that you'll forget you're eating something genuinely good for you.
  • Every component can be prepped ahead, turning this into your secret weapon for meal prep Sunday.
02 -
  • The sauce will thicken as it sits, so if you're making it ahead, whisk in a little extra warm water right before serving to restore its flowing consistency.
  • Raw vegetables stay crisp better if you keep them separate from the sauce until the last moment; this is why last-minute assembly matters more than it seems.
03 -
  • Don't crowd your baking sheet when roasting; give the sweet potatoes space to brown instead of steam, which transforms them from ordinary to caramelized.
  • Toast your peanuts briefly in a dry pan right before assembly and they'll taste fresher and crunchier than any pre-toasted version.
