Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 medium or 1 large heads broccoli, chopped (florets only, 4 cups)
- 5-6 medium carrots, chopped (2 heaping cups)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2-3 cups cooked brown rice
- optional garnishes: chopped green onions, sesame seeds
- 1 batch Restaurant-worthy peanut sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Cook rice according to package directions. I like to use my Instant Pot!
- Spray one extra large or two regular baking sheets with cooking spray. Place chickpeas, broccoli, and carrots on baking sheet. Make sure veggies have room to roast (if they're too close together they will steam and not get that yummy brownness). Add olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper, tossing to combine. Roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Meanwhile, make peanut sauce.
- Assemble bowls by placing rice at the bottom and topping with veggie mixture plus plenty of peanut sauce. Devour!
