Veggie Burrito Bowl

Ingredients

• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Paprika (1 teaspoon)
• Cumin (1 teaspoon)
• Lime (1, juiced)
• Cilantro (a handful, chopped)
• Avocado (1, sliced)
• Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
• Corn (1 cup, cooked)
• Red onion (1, sliced)
• Bell peppers (2, sliced)
• Black beans (1 cup, cooked)
• Brown rice (2 cups, cooked)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Arrange the sliced bell peppers and red onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together ensuring the veggies are well-coated with the oil and spices.
3. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they're tender and have a slight char. This caramelization will add a beautiful depth of flavor.
4. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the other components. Cook your brown rice and black beans if they're not already done. Slice your avocado and halve your cherry tomatoes.
5. Once the veggies are done, assemble your bowl. Start with a base of brown rice, then layer on the black beans, roasted vegetables, corn, cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.
6. Finish by drizzling over the juice of one lime. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed, then give everything a good toss to combine.
7. Serve your vibrant Veggie Burrito Bowl as is, or add your favorite toppings. Salsa, sour cream, or shredded cheese would all be delicious additions. Enjoy!
