This Sweet Potato Chickpea Couscous Bowl will melt your heart!! It’s so easy to make but full of flavor. The turmeric gives this bowl that super satisfying, warming quality. These bowls are made with crispy coconut oil kale, sweet potatoes, crispy chickpeas, turmeric couscous, and avocado.
I can hardly put into words how much I loveeeee these couscous bowls! The flavor is insane and you get all the textures. Honestly, the turmeric couscous is good enough to eat on it’s own. Adding the rest of the ingredients just takes it to another level!
I used my Sunny Sauce on this bowl. For this recipe, you can use your favorite dressing/sauce or olive/avocado oil as the dressing. My favorite besides Sunny Sauce is avocado oil!
How do you make couscous?
Making couscous is super easy!! Bring 1.5 cups water and a dash of salt to a boil. Add 1 cup of couscous and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and let cook for about 10 minutes (until all water is evaporated). Remove from heat and leave covered for 2-3 minutes.
How do you make crispy chickpeas?
This is also super easy. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Rinse and drain a can of chickpeas and place on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive or avocado oil and sprinkle with your fav seasonings (I like salt, pepper, turmeric, cayenne and garlic). Mix around so they are evenly coated and bake for about 25 minutes (until crispy).
