Vegetables
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
- 2 red bell peppers, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups fresh spinach or arugula
- 1 avocado, sliced
Grain Base
- 1 cup quinoa or brown rice, uncooked
Seasonings and Oils
- 3 tbsp olive oil (for roasting)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Optional Garnishes and Dressings
- Crunchy pumpkin seeds or toasted almonds
- Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro
- Choice of dressing: tahini sauce, lemon-tahini drizzle, balsamic glaze, or fresh lemon juice
- Prep Your Veggies: Wash and chop the sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and red bell peppers into bite-sized pieces for even roasting. Toss them in olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast to Perfection: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until vegetables are caramelized and edges are crisp.
- Cook Your Grain: While the veggies roast, prepare quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and keep warm.
- Assemble the Bowl: Place a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice into bowls. Top with the roasted vegetables, then layer with fresh spinach or arugula and slices of creamy avocado.
- Final Touches: Drizzle your choice of dressing or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the bowl. Sprinkle with seeds, nuts, or fresh herbs if desired for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Cut vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even roasting.
- Roast vegetables at high heat (425°F/220°C) to caramelize and enhance sweetness.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming and achieve crispness.
- Season vegetables both before roasting and after assembling for balanced flavor layers.
- Add avocado and fresh greens just before serving to keep them vibrant and crisp.
