Holiday Macro Bowl with Miso Tahini Gravy

Holiday macro bowl with miso tahini gravy perfect for the holidays or anytime you’re craving a hearty mix of whole foods.

I’m getting pretty excited about Christmas, guys.

I love the anticipation leading up to holidays almost as much (or more??) as the holiday itself.

Kind of like this big macro bowl that I dreamed it up around Thanksgiving.

While most tables are centered around meatier mains during the holiday season, I’m over here dying to show you how darn festive plants can be.

Here’s how I mix all of my favorites to create a yummy plant-based bowl that’s packed with protein, seasonal veggies, and holiday garnishes.

I’m calling it a Holiday Macro Bowl with Miso Tahini Gravy and I think you’re going to love it.

How to Make Holiday Macro Bowl

Riddle me this.

Why don’t people generally serve holiday food bowl-style?

Because I’ll be honest,  most of my meals turn into “bowled” feasts even if I didn’t intend them too, all of the segregated veggies breaking out of their boundaries and becoming a hot colorful mess.

This Holiday Macro Bowl with Miso Tahini Gravy is going to break those barriers from the beginning.

All you need is an empty bowl, 30 minutes, and the childlike glee that comes with starting a new tradition.

Swaps and Substitutions

The beauty of this bowl is that it’s totally adaptable.

I used protein rich lentils, roasted sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts, festive cranberries, and  toasted walnuts, all tied together with (maybe you guessed it), a sweet and savory miso tahini dressing.

Feel free to customize it to make your own variations with your favorite grains, roasted veggies, and toppings.

You can also use this recipe as a template for all of your holiday sides and leftovers– simply bowl them on a bed of grains with a splash of miso tahini gravy and scallions it might just taste better than the original did.

Just sayin’.

Floating Leaf Fine Foods

Every good macro bowl needs a sturdy foundation, yes?

I used Floating Leaf Fine Foods’ Sprouted Crimson Lentils Wild Rice & Quinoa as the hearty nutritious base to this bowl.

This gorgeous rice blend is a unique mix and brown rice, sprouted lentils, sorghum, wild rice, and quinoa.

I love this fusion because it’s great source of protein and fiber as well as vitamins and minerals.

Try cooking it in vegetable broth for even more flavor!

How to Serve Holiday Macro Bowl

This Holiday Macro Bowl with Miso Tahini “Gravy” isn’t just for the holidays!

It’s perfect for your basic meal prep or weeknight dinner, and leftovers are great for an elevated work lunch.

Or dress it up pretty for the holidays as part of your holiday spread.

If you prepare the bowls in advance, store all of the ingredients separately and assemble just before serving to keep the flavors fresh.

Enjoy!

Description

Holiday macro bowl with miso tahini gravy perfect for the holidays or anytime you’re craving a hearty mix of whole foods.


Ingredients

Holiday Macro Bowl

  • 1 cup uncooked Floating Leaf Sprouted Crimson Lentils + 3 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 15 oz can lentils, drained and rinsed
  • 2 medium/large sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 3 cups brussel sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • avocado oil spray
  • Himalayan sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup crushed walnuts, toasted
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Miso Tahini Gravy

  • 1 TBSP miso paste
  • 3 TBSP tahini
  • 2–4 TBSP lemon juice
  • ¼ cup warm filtered water
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
  • green onion, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. On the first baking sheet, lay out the cubed sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts. Spray/drizzle with a bit of avocado oil (or omit if oil-free) and sprinkle with Himalayan sea salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the brussels sprouts are browned. Remove the vegetables from the oven and set them aside.
  3. While the veggies are roasting, prepare your Sprouted Crimson Lentils, Wild Rice, & Quinoa in vegetable broth according to package instructions. Set aside until ready for use.
  4. Toast the walnuts on the stovetop over low heat for ~10 minutes or bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.
  5. Prepare the Miso Tahini Dressing by adding the tahini, miso paste, lemon juice, filtered water, and optional maple syrup to a high-speed blender and pulsing until it’s smooth and creamy. Add more water for a thinner consistency and more tahini for a thicker consistency. Store the gravy in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  6. To assemble to bowls, add a heaping cup of sprouted lentils, wild rice, and quinoa to a bowl and top with roasted sweet potato, brussels sprouts, lentils, toasted walnuts, and cranberry sauce/cranberries. Serve the bowls drizzles with Miso Tahini Gravy and garnish with green onion. Enjoy immediately!
  7. Store any leftovers separately in the refrigerator for 3-5 days and reassemble and reheat before serving.

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
