Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a medium bowl, combine 2 peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (about 10 ounces total), 1 tablespoon avocado oil, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
-
Step 2.
Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they start to brown and are tender.
-
Step 3.
While the sweet potatoes roast, soak ¼ cup raw cashews in water for 30 minutes. Then rinse and drain the cashews.
-
Step 4.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, ¼ cup water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ½ teaspoon matcha powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high for about 1 minute, until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
-
Step 5.
To assemble each bowl, divide evenly: 2 handfuls arugula, 2 cups cooked chickpeas, 2 cups cooked pearl barley, the roasted sweet potatoes, 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage, and 1 sliced avocado. Serve with the matcha-cashew dressing.
