It’s naturally vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and filled with lots wholesome and nourishing ingredients to keep you energized and ready for the day ahead!
Sometimes, I just want a really warming bowl that’s packed with stuff to keep me full.
But, I also sometimes don’t feel like spending an hour at the stove stirring.
This Easy & Warming Roasted Veggie & Hummus Bowl is so perfect for those days.
Especially if you chop and roast all the ingredients in advance, literally all you have to do is throw everything together in a bowl and you’ve got yourself a hearty, wholesome and delicious meal.
This bowl is honestly pretty self-explanatory and beginner friendly, so definitely try it out if you’re just starting to get into cooking!
I also make my own hummus, but you totally can just use store bought! But, making hummus is actually pretty easy, so let me know if you want a blog post on how I make it!
Ingredients in this Easy & Warming Roasted Veggie & Hummus Bowl
Greens: I used Kale and Spinach and massaged in with balsamic vinegar, garlic, powder and nutritional yeast! You can use whatever greens you have on hand! And instead of balsamic vinegar, you can use lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or olive oil! You also can use whatever seasonings you have on hand instead of garlic powder and nutritional yeast!
Beans: I used pinto beans as my protein source here because I feel like beans just go really well with this type of bowl. But, feel free to substitute with black beans, chickpeas, or white beans! Or, you could even do tofu or tempeh!
Starchy Vegetables: I like my bowls to be filling, so I used roasted sweet potatoes and cooked beets to really help bulk up the bowl!
Other Veggies: I roasted some bell pepper, carrots, eggplant, zucchini, and red onion while I was roasting my potatoes and it was the perfect combo. But again, use whatever you have on hand!
Toppings: We all know, I can’t have a bowl without avocado and the hummus makes it so nice and creamy! I also love topping this with some hot sauce, red chili flakes, or almonds!
How to make:
Roast: Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line 2 baking trays with silicone baking sheets and add your sweet potatoes to one tray, and your bell pepper, carrots, eggplant, and onion to the other. Roast the tray with all the veggies for about 20-25 minutes. Roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes.
Assemble: Massage the kale and spinach. Add in all the veggies and the beans. Top with avocado, hummus, and anything else you’d like!
Done!
Why is this bowl balanced?
I love throwing together bowls like this because you can easily make them super balanced to keep you satiated for a good while!
Protein: The beans are the main source of plant-based protein here!
Carbs: All of our veggies like the sweet potato, beets, eggplant, zucchini, and peppers are our main source of long lasting energy!
Fats: Our creamy avocado and hummus are going to keep us full!
