Enter Harvest Bowl 101: scrumptious mounds of nourishing greens, grains, seasonal produce, and protein-packed sustenance.
Yield: 1 serving
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 2 sweet potatoes, cut into small chunks
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tsp dried, optional
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 to 3 cups chopped leafy greens, spring lettuce mix, kale, spinach, arugula, etc.
  • ¾ cup cooked quinoa or wild rice
  • ½ apple or pear, sliced or chopped
  • 3 ounces cooked chicken breast, sliced/chopped
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons almond slivers, toasted pecans, walnuts or pistachios, pumpkin seeds, optional
  • Balsamic or lemon vinaigrette dressing, optional

Instructions
 

To roast vegetables:

  • Preheat oven to 425. Mist one or two baking sheets with nonstick olive oil spray and add veggies in single layer. Generously mist the tops with additional olive oil spray (alternatively you can toss in 1 to 2 Tbsp EVOO from bottle) and sprinkle on the salt, pepper and optional thyme.
  • Roast in oven on middle rack for 25 minutes, or until veggies are soft and caramelized. You should have some burnt brussels sprout leaves (they’re extra delicious this way).

To assemble Harvest Bowl:

  • Spread the chopped leafy greens on the bottom of a single-serve wide bowl. Create pretty sections on top, by layering on the quinoa, roasted veggies, sliced apple or pear, and chicken. Sprinkle your optional extras on top and drizzle on dressing.

Notes

Note: This recipe makes about 5 servings of roasted veggies— perfect for future bowls or scrumptious dinner sides.
