Buddha bowls, power bowls, lunch bowls, quinoa bowls, rice bowls, smoothie bowls. Are you all down with them yet?

I am totally on board the bowl train. Our family like most Asian families grew up eating rice bowls daily. And I love that they’re so trendy these days.

Roasted Vegetable Buddha Bowls make the perfect healthy Meatless Monday meal!
Our parents ensured that we ate dinner together as a family at the table every night.

Every so often, we were allowed to to take our loaded rice bowls into the TV room. But only if there was a really good show or concert on. We’d top them high with all the fix-ins. As a kid and even now, that totally takes up the fun level.

These Roasted Vegetable Buddha Bowls might just be my new favorite.

Roasted Vegetable Buddha Bowls make the perfect healthy meal
There are tons of Buddha Bowl recipes online and I love that they are so easy to customize with what you have on hand.

Buddha Bowls are healthy bowls of good grains with a well balanced mix of vegetables. You combine them together piled high like a round “belly”. The best part is, you can swap in anything you like.

These Roasted Vegetable Buddha Bowls are loaded with:
  • Broccoli
  • Brussels Sprouts
  • Butternut Squash (use Sweet Potatoes if you prefer)
  • Chickpeas
  • Edamame Beans
  • Sauteed Spinach
  • Shredded Carrots
  • Red Cabbage
  • Avocado Cream Dressing
  • Cooked Quinoa (perfect way to use up leftovers or make a fresh batch)

I love that it’s one of those Meatless Monday meals that are perfect for cleaning out the fridge.

Plus you can easily meal prep these on a Sunday and portion them out into lunch bowls for the rest of the week for school or work.

Meal Prep tips:

  • Just chop all your vegetables before-hand and you can store them in the fridge or roast them.
  • The quinoa can be made ahead of time and you just add the cream dressing to the side.

These Roasted Vegetables Lunch Bowls are warm, comforting and fill-you-up good. All the while being light and delicious.

Ingredients

Buddha Bowls

2-3 cups cooked quinoa

1/2 butternut squash, peeled, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 cup broccoli, cut into florets

1 cup brussels sprouts, trimmed and cleaned

1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or one 15-oz can)

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

salt and black pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/3 cup cooked shelled edamame beans

1/3 cup sauteed or cooked spinach

1/3 cup purple cabbage

1/3 cup shredded carrots

Toasted sesame seeds, for garnishing


Avocado Cream Dressing

1 medium avocado, peeled and pit removed

1/4 cup full fat coconut milk (canned)

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 medium lime)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

For lunch bowls

Lunch containers

Instructions

  1. Roast the vegetables and chickpeas
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with foil sprayed with cooking spray. Place the butternut squash, broccoli and Brussels sprouts on one tray and drizzle with olive oil. Toss together using clean hands or tongs. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the chickpeas in the other pan and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Toss with your hands and season with salt, pepper and cumin.
  4. Place both trays in the preheated oven. Roast chickpeas and edamame beans for 15 minutes (rotate pan halfway) and vegetables for 25 - 30 minutes, or until tender and cooked - flipping half way through. Remove from the oven and let cool while you prepare the rest of the bowl.
  5. While the vegetables and chickpeas are roasting, make the avocado cream dressing. In your blender, combine the avocado, coconut cream, lime juice and salt and blend until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.

  6. Assemble bowls:
  7. When the roasted vegetables, chickpeas and edamame beans are ready, divide evenly into bowls over a warm bed of cooked quinoa.
  8. Top with purple cabbage, sauteed spinach and shredded carrots. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired and drizzle avocado cream over top and enjoy!
  9. For lunch bowls
  10. Divide into lunch containers and drizzle cream sauce on one corner or store in a separate container.
