I am not a vegetarian so we added chicken (cooked in garlic, pepper flakes, salt and pepper) and some roasted vegetables from before. But I thinks it is pretty good if you just did the recipe as set out below for one person. I wanted this to last so I added different things to get me thru the week. Found the recipe online.

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2

Add the cubed sweet potato and rinsed chickpeas in a bowl and toss with all spices/seasonings until well combined.
3

Add to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the sweet potato can be easily pierced with a fork. Don’t forget to give it a little toss half way through.
4

Cook your grain of choice according to package instructions. We did a barley pilaf which I will add to cookpad.
5

Meanwhile, add the edamame and broccoli to a pot with 1 inch of water and steam for 5-7 minutes or until the broccoli is just barely fork tender. Drain off the excess water. (I steamed them in my microwave and used a pampered chef steamer I have)
6

When the potatoes/chickpeas are done, assemble the bowls with a base of your grain of choice, then add the steamed veggies, sweet potato/chickpeas, avocado and top with a generous serving of peanut sauce, chopped cilantro and crushed peanuts.
7

Peanut Sauce - Finely mince the garlic (use a garlic press so you don't have any large chunks) and add to a large mixing bowl.
Add all ingredients aside from the water and whisk together until smooth.
8

The recipe calls for 1/4-1/2 cup of water and I end up using closer to 1/2 cup for this recipe.
You can easily use almond butter in place of peanut butter.
