    Low histamine vegan power bowl

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This low histamine vegan power bowl is full of nourishing veggies, grains and potatoes, and topped with a fun and simple tahini dressing and pumpkin seeds. It's a healthy and flavourful lunch or dinner recipe, and suitable for a vegan, gluten free and low histamine diet.

    Big bowls of goodness are a go-to in my home to have lots of variety and healthy foods too. This power bowl feels more appropriate for summer, and my winter buddha bowl feels perfect for the colder months.

    Both focus on lots of fresh vegetables, sources of protein and starches. This is always one of the most popular recipes on the blog, and I hope it becomes one of your favourites if you are just discovering it!

    Why you'll love this recipe

    • Bursting with healthy foods. This buddha bowl has so many vegetables, herbs, grains and seeds that will definitely help in getting your vitamins for the day!
    • Versatile. Swap ingredients in and out to preference or for which foods you have to hand.
    • Easy to make. A simple recipe, it has a few steps but all are easy to do.

    Ingredients

    While this may seem like a long list of ingredients, most are vegetables, grains and seeds that would make up a regular grocery run. Of course, swap ingredients in and out to preference or what you have to hand. You will need:

    • Carrots, zucchini, radishes and bell pepper - the key vegetables for this power bowl.
    • Potatoes and quinoa - the starches for this bowl. The Terrasoul organic white quinoa is good.
    • Herbs - to flavour (and healthy too!)
    • Spices - also for lots of flavour. Sweet paprika is always a go-to spice for me as it is low histamine (as per the SIGHI list) and gives a lot of flavour.
    • Pumpkin seeds - such a good little topping for some crunch! The Terrasoul organic pumpkin seeds are good.
    • Vegetable broth - optional, to cook the quinoa in for extra flavour.
    • Tahini - for the dressing (note that it is a potential allergen so only use if known to tolerate well).

    Variations to the recipe

    Buddha bowls are, I think, by their nature expected to be quite versatile in terms of ingredients. Swap the vegetables in and out for those you have to hand.

    Step by step instructions

    1. Place the new potatoes, red bell pepper and zucchini on a lined baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sweet paprika and turmeric. Bake until the vegetables and potatoes are fork tender.
    2. Prepare the quinoa according to packet instructions, using the vegetable broth if you wish as well as the thyme.
    3. Make the tahini dressing by combining the ingredients and stirring until it becomes a creamy dressing.
    4. Make your bowl by adding the new potatoes, quinoa mix and roasted vegetables. Add the radishes and grated carrot and drizzle over the tahini dressing. Top with the coriander, pumpkin seeds and green onion (if using).

    Ingredients
      

    For the bowl

    • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 cup new potatoes sliced in half
    • ½ red bell pepper cut into large chunks
    • ¼ zucchini cut into large chunks
    • ¼ carrot grated
    • 1-2 radishes sliced
    • 30 g quinoa
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
    • 1 teaspoon turmeric
    • 1 teaspoon pumpkin seeds
    • 1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon optional
    • 1 green onion optional
    • small handful coriander diced
    • pinch pink himalayan salt to taste

    For the tahini dressing

    • 1 tablespoon tahini
    • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
    • 2 tablespoon warmed water

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 200C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Once at temperature, add the new potatoes, red bell pepper and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sweet paprika and turmeric. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the vegetables and potatoes are tender.
    • Prepare the quinoa to packet instructions, adding the thyme and vegetable bouillon to the water if using.
    • Make the tahini dressing by stirring together the tahini, maple syrup and water until it becomes a creamy sauce. Add more water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
    • Make your bowl by adding the new potatoes, quinoa mix and roasted vegetables. Add the radishes and grated carrot and drizzle over the tahini dressing. Top with the coriander, pumpkin seeds and green onion.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy!

    Notes

     If your new potatoes are quite large then cut them into quarters rather than halves.   Love your dressings? Increase the quantity of tahini and water for even more!   Not a fan of coriander / cilantro? How about basil or parsley instead?  

    Swiss Interest Group Histamine Intolerance, food compatibility list histamine

    All ingredients in this low histamine power bowl recipe score a '0' on the SIGHI food list with the exception of:
    • tahini - sesame seeds score a '1'. If you prefer not to use tahini, then a herb-based dressing such as the basil dressing in my peach and mozzarella salad recipe is also a great option.
    • green onion - this isn't rated on SIGHI, so omit if you do not tolerate it or swap for white onion.

      I discovered your blog a few months ago and it has been a real help! Thanks for all of your work on it! I’ve made this recipe a few times and really enjoy it. This last time I grilled the veggies on the bbq. Very tasty!

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
