A bed of silky kale, topped with roasted sweet potato, broccoli, beets, brussels sprouts, and red onion, sprinkled with crispy chickpeas and red quinoa. The ultimate veggie lover dream bowl.
I’ve been trying to eat more vegetables, but don’t always feel like doing all the cleaning/chopping work that is required to make what I want. When hunger hits, I want something simple to throw together and get in my belly. Then I had an epiphany.🤔💡Meal prep! I know, duh.
I loaded up with a bunch of my favorite vegetables: sweet potatoes, beets, brussels sprouts, red onion, broccoli, and kale.
I washed, dried, and chopped everything (except for the kale).
Then I divide the vegetables up into separate portions and put them in Tupperware for an easy ‘grab, toss in oil/seasoning, then pop in oven’ meals.
I left out the portion I wanted to cook, and dumped it in a mixing bowl.
I also grabbed a couple cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed them, then tossed them in the bowl as well. Then I drizzled oil on top of the vegetables, added seasoning (cumin, parsley, salt), and stirred to evenly coat.
I gently tossed the vegetables on prepared baking pan (lined with foil, sprayed with oil), then used a flat spatula to spread them out. I ended up roasting them for 18 minutes, but leave them in longer if they aren’t brown enough (or even longer if making more bowls).

While vegetables are roasting, wash and dry the kale. Strip the leaves off the stem, then tear into bit size pieces. Place in large bowl. Drizzle with oil and massage until you’ve reached the desired texture. Set aside (or place in refrigerator until ready to use).
Cook quinoa (if not already cooked). Wild rice might be a good substitute, if you aren’t a quinoa fan.
Take out veggies when they’ve reached your desired roasted-ness (new word?😜).

Time for assembly! Place down a bed of kale, throw on a giant portion of roasted veggies, sprinkle a handful of red quinoa and roasted chickpeas, then top with homemade zingy avocado dressing.
