Vegan BBQ tempeh Bowl! BBQ roasted tempeh with crispy brussels sprouts and carrots. Served with wild rice. Vegan and Gluten-Free.
I’ve become a complete bowl addict; throw in some grains, some vegetables, protein, sauce and I am set. They’ve become my go-to option for easy lunch and dinners.
Honestly, you barely even need a recipe, just throw whatever you’ve got together, drizzle on sauce of choice and you are set.
I talk a lot about the importance of meal planning as I’m a firm believer that stocking nourishing, ready-to-eat foods is a lifesaver during the week. When I don’t meal prep on the weekends, we often turn to take-out and/or cereal for dinner the following week. That’s OK occasionally, but I’d rather be enjoying a bowl of this BBQ goodness than another dinner of granola.
These bowls are made for meal-prep; make a big batch of wild rice, roasted vegetables and tempeh on Sunday. Pack everything in individual containers, then assemble as needed for quick-meals throughout the week. Easy, super nourishing and incredibly delicious.
I try to switch up our grains every week, and while I’m a suck for quinoa, farro and pasta (obviously), lately I’ve been loving this wild rice mixture. I found it in the bulk bin at Fresh Thyme (I think it’s a Lundberg blend) and it’s perfect in this hearty bowl. But, the great thing about a grain bowl is that almost anything works. Feel free to sub in whatever grain you’ve got laying around your pantry.
Same goes for vegetables, though I’m a sucker for crispy brussels sprouts and carrots smothered in BBQ sauce.
