These vegan red lentil quinoa bowls are filled with nutrition and ideal for meal prep. They comprise red-lentils, quinoa, roasted-squash and carrot, lemon tahini sauce and broccoli to for a filling, buddha-bowl-style meal.

Here’s what you will need to make this lentil and grain buddha-bowl:

Roasted butternut squash and carrots. You are going to require a medium-sized butternut squash, peeled and cubed and approximately 1 carrot perbowl.
Red-lentils. Red lentils are full of protein, minerals and vitamins and require only 15minutes to cook. These may also be cookedin in advance.
Quinoa. Quinoa is among the maximum protein entire grains and can be obviously fermented. It’s a nutty flavour which operates nicely in this recipe. Quinoa requires 15minutes, but can make in advance for quick assembly.
Tahini-sauce. Tahini lemon sauce is ideal for buddha-bowls. It is creamy, so tatsy and simple to make with ingredients.
Steamed-broccoli. Steamed broccoli. The steamed broccoli is the one thing I would not advise making beforehand, but you may absolutely wash and chop the broccoli in advance.

Here is how to I cook the Quinoa:

Bring water to a boil, with a 2:1 ratio of water into quinoa.
Add the quinoa, cover & reduce to a light-simmer.
Cook for 15minutes and then remove from heat & let stand for 5minutes without removing the lid.
Fluff with a fork & it’s ready to go.
