The best part about meal prepping is not having to cook on the days I don’t want to. It’s like cleaning your house before guests come over instead of scrambling to throw everything into a closet minutes before they arrive. You’re more prepared, less stressed… and making better choices. I already had my pork cooked and my veggies pre-cut, leaving roasting the veggies the only thing I had to do for these BBQ pulled pork bowls.
I often roast the veggies during my big meal prep, and urge you to, too! That will save you even more time when you prepare the BBQ pulled pork bowls for lunch or dinner. When I roast the sweet potatoes and broccoli during a big meal prep day, I portion them out and create the “bowls” right away in individual Tupperware containers. Then I can just grab and go! It’s perfect for my workdays or to just have available in the fridge at home.
Because I used an all-purpose pulled pork recipe, I seasoned the sweet potatoes more liberally. I added paprika, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper. I stayed away from cinnamon or chili powder which are common spices to add to roasted sweet potatoes just because I knew I was using these ones specifically with BBQ sauce in the bowls.
Don’t let the clean photos of the BBQ pulled pork bowls fool you. Once the ingredients are in the bowl, I mix it all up and go to town. Probably adding even more BBQ sauce while I’m at it. The BBQ sauce use is by Tessemae’s and it’s basically the best. You can find it at a ton of different stores now, including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Fresh Thyme, even some Target stores carry them now! Or you can buy them online, of course (thank you, internet).
I diced up two sweet potatoes and two heads of broccoli. I’ll be putting half a sweet potato into each of the 4 meals I made out of this. That’s both light enough for lunch but filling enough so I’m not starving by dinner. Like I said, these BBQ pulled pork bowls are perfect for meal prep!
Enjoy!

Are you sure it’s supposed to be a 1/2 TABLESPOON of garlic powder and not a 1/2 TEASPOON? It was a bit much. I will adjust next time. Otherwise delish!
