Ingredients

For the Chickpeas and Vegetables

  • 1 cup carrots diced large
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper divided
  • 14 ounces garbanzo beans can, drained and rinsed (chickpeas)

For the Peanut Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low-sodium
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter creamy, no sugar added
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts unsalted

For the Buddha Bowl

  • 2 cups brown rice cooked
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup bean sprouts

Instructions

For the Chickpeas and Vegetables

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss carrots and broccoli in 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat well and lay in one single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until carrots are soft and begin to char.
  • Toss the remaining oil, salt, and pepper with the garbanzo beans. Coat well and lay in one single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 10 to 15 minutes just until beans begin to roast but are still soft. Overcooking the garbanzo beans will make them too crunchy.

For the Peanut Sauce

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor except for the roasted peanuts. Blend well. Remove blade and gently stir in roasted nuts. Reserve about 1/4 cup and pour the remainder over roasted vegetables and chickpeas and gently toss.

For the Buddha Bowl

  • Divide the brown rice between 6 serving bowls. Place spinach on top, only covering about 1/3 of the rice. Repeat with the bean sprouts, again only covering about 1/3 of the rice. Fill the remaining 1/3 of the bowl with the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Drizzle with the reserved peanut sauce.
  • Serve and enjoy!
