The best news? When you use already-cooked grains, this recipe comes together in about 30 minutes! When contemplating the flavors for this fall-themed Buddha bowl concept, I couldn’t shake the idea of grains topped with roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts with tahini sauce. I mean, how could you go wrong with that combo? The first attempt was a good start but lacked cohesiveness and memorable flavor. However, that all changed when I swapped plain roasted Brussels sprouts for our incredibly delicious Miso-Glazed Brussels Sprouts! They add caramelized flavor and umami-style depth to the dish that makes you want seconds and thirds (what can’t miso do?). You can learn about the origins of this magical ingredient here. Next, I upgraded plain cooked grains for stir-fried grains with slivered almonds, a dash of coconut aminos, and spinach. Friends, the crispy texture and salty flavor here deserve a slow clap. Go ahead, we’ll wait. Bonus? This means you can use leftover grains that have already been cooked to save you time! And last but not least, a sauce with one of our all-time favorite ingredients: tahini (learn about its origins here). We have many tahini-based sauces, but this one is new and worth trying (trust us, it’s a total flavor bomb). Creamy tahini is blended with zesty garlic, coconut aminos, maple syrup, and water — that’s it! Somehow the alchemy results in a nutty, savory-sweet, nuanced, garlicky sauce you’ll want to put on everything. We hope you LOVE this nourish bowl! It’s:SavoryComfortingComplexSatisfyingDelicious& Versatile! With 16 grams fiber, 14 grams protein, and 6 mg iron per serving, it’s the ultimate plant-based dish! Plus, it’s weeknight-friendly, especially when prepping some of the components in advance (tahini sauce, miso glaze, chopping veggies, cooking grains).
