For the Veggie Bowl:
- 1 cup quinoa or brown rice, cooked according to package instructions
- 2 cups mixed greens (such as spinach, kale, or arugula)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 yellow squash, sliced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: avocado slices, sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, roasted sweet potatoes, toasted nuts or seeds
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through cooking.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey or maple syrup (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- Assemble the Veggie Power Bowl by dividing the cooked quinoa or brown rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, roasted vegetables, and chickpeas.
- Drizzle the dressing over the Veggie Power Bowls just before serving, or serve it on the side for drizzling.
- Garnish the bowls with any optional toppings of your choice, such as avocado slices, sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, roasted sweet potatoes, or toasted nuts or seeds.
- Serve the Veggie Power Bowls immediately and enjoy a nutritious and delicious meal!
