See, when it come to weeknight dinners, I are likely to gravitate to vegan stir-fries. They are usually easy and engaging, and my traditional tofu stir-fry is an all time favourite. Stir-fries are fantastic. However have you ever ever had a vegan bowl?

What I really like a a couple of good bowl is that every of the elements may be tremendous simple to organize, and in a recipe like this, virtually your entire bowl toppings get cooked within the oven, fingers off. So you do not have to babysit something, such as you do with a stir-fry. Whereas the substances roast, stir collectively your sauce and prepare dinner up some rice.

Along with being tremendous simple, these bowls lend themselves rather well to meal prep. You are able to do the prep work upfront and roast all the things on the day of serving, OR prepare dinner all the things and reheat it later. It is as much as you!

Maple syrup. One other liquid sweetener corresponding to agave nectar or coconut nectar may very well be used if most well-liked.

Retailer the elements of your bowls individually if attainable. The rice, tofu and veggies will hold in hermetic containers for about 4 days.
