- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp curry powder
- ½ tsp cumin

- Lime wedge to garnish, optional
For the Roasted Red Pepper Yogurt Sauce
- 1 roasted red pepper from a jar (about ½ cup)

- 1 clove of garlic
- 2-3 tbsp of olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Equipment Needed
- Two sheet trays lined with parchment paper
- Food processor
- Large salad bowl
- Knife and cutting board
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line two sheet trays with parchment paper. To one tray, add the sweet potato that has been cut into “fry” shapes. Toss with seasonings and olive oil. Bake for about 35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and charring.
To the other pan, add the cauliflower florets and toss with olive oil and seasonings. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until tender and beginning to char.
To make the roasted red pepper sauce, add all the ingredients needed to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl and reserve for serving.
Next, build your bowl! Start with lettuce, cucumbers, sauce, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes. Garnish with yogurt sauce, feta, and sliced avocado.
