Ingredients

For the Roasted Veggies

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
  • 2 large sweet potato diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 8 cups of broccoli florets chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

For the Bowls

  • 1 cup short grain brown rice uncooked
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cups raw kale deboned and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup roasted red pepper hummus
  • 1 cup sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
  • 2 tablespoons tahini

Instructions

  • First, preheat oven to 375ºF and spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Next, prepare the rice by adding the rice and water to a small pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Then, turn heat to low cover pot, and let the rice simmer for about 30-40 minutes or until water has dissolved.
  • Next, spread the sweet potato, onion, and broccoli evenly over the greased baking sheet. Toss in olive oil and garlic.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over the vegetables and then place into the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes at 375ºF, tossing halfway.
  • Prepare the kale by placing kale into a bowl and drizzling with about 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  • Massage the kale with hands until the kale breaks down by about half (read more about how to massage kale here). Set kale aside.
  • Remove rice from the stove top when finished and fluff with a fork. Set aside.
  • Remove vegetables from the oven. Set aside.
  •  Assemble bowls by evenly distributing rice, vegetables, kale, sprouts, hummus, hemp seeds, and tahini between four bowls or meal prep containers* and enjoy!

Tips & Notes
