This is veggie, classic, grain & also tahini-buddha bowl that is hearty, filling and ideal for meal preparation.

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.
