Can I use frozen roasted sweet potatoes in my macro bowls?u003cbr/u003e

Yes. This is a useful shortcut. To make sure the potatoes aren't mushy, place the sheet pan into the oven while it is preheating so that it's nice and hot. Once the oven is pre-heated, drop the frozen potatoes straight onto the hot pan, drizzle with olive oil, toss and season liberally with salt and pepper. Tastes great every time!

Can I assemble the macro bowls in advance?u003cbr/u003e

Yes. I find that everything tastes best when each component is stored seperately, however, if you want to pre-assemble the bowls that can work. DO NOT add the honey-lime dressing until just before eating. Cover each individual bowl tightly with plastic wrap.

Instructions

Honey-lime dressing. In a small bowl or jar, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Prepare roasted sweet potatoes. Heat oven to 425 F. On a large baking sheet, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender, tossing halfway through. Remove from oven and set aside.
Assemble macro bowls. If serving immediately, divide the desired amount of chicken, brown rice, sweet potatoes and spinach into bowl(s). Top with honey-lime dressing. If meal prepping (or storing leftovers), place each individual component in an airtight bag or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To serve, reheat potatoes and/or chicken, create your bowl and then top with honey-lime dressing.

Notes

If you do not want to use a rotisserie chicken you will need 1 - 1.5 pounds of prepared chicken diced or shredded. This simple spiced balsamic marinade is my go-to when preparing chicken breasts.

Purchasing frozen brown rice in a steam-able bag is suggested. I usually cook 2 bags.
