Ingredients:

• 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 cup of cooked quinoa
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 2 cups of baby spinach
• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 tablespoon of chia seeds

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl

To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, chickpeas, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the cauliflower and chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasonings. Spread the mixture out onto a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly charred.

While the cauliflower and chickpeas are roasting, prepare your quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff the quinoa with a fork and divide it among serving bowls. Top the quinoa with the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas, sliced avocado, baby spinach, red onion, and a sprinkle of chia seeds.

Drizzle the Buddha bowls with fresh lemon juice for a burst of citrus flavor. Feel free to add any additional seasonings or toppings of your choice, such as a drizzle of tahini or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. Enjoy your Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Buddha Bowl immediately for a satisfying and nutrient-packed meal.

Clever Tip:

For an extra crunch, try toasting the chia seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until they become fragrant. Sprinkle the toasted chia seeds over your Buddha bowl for added texture and nutty flavor.
