Ingredients

Roasted Summer Vegetable Burrito Bowls:

  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper cored and chopped
  • 1 large yellow squash diced
  • 1 medium zucchini squash diced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil separated
  • Sea salt
  • 1-1/2 cups uncooked brown rice
  • 1 14-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed, and heated

Avocado-Basil Crema:

  • 1 large ripe avocado peeled and diced
  • ¼ cup plain whole milk yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 4 leaves large basil roughly chopped, about ¼ cup
  • Pinch sea salt to taste

Optional Add-ins:

  • Rotisserie chicken
  • Hot sauce or salsa
  • Cheddar or jack cheese
  • Cilantro or basil

Instructions

  • Prepare rice according to package instructions.
  • While rice is cooking, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spread the onion and red bell pepper over a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Use your hands to toss everything together to ensure the veggies are coated with oil. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  • As the bell pepper and onion are baking, repeat the process with the yellow squash and zucchini by spreading the veggies on a baking sheet, drizzling with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkling with salt. Place on a separate rack in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes (or until veggies have reached desired doneness), turning once halfway through.
  • While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the avocado-basil crema. Add all of the ingredients to a small blender and blend until completely smooth. Add a small amount of water or more yogurt if needed for blending. Taste for flavor and add more lime juice and/or sea salt to taste.
  • Divide the rice among 3 to 4 bowls, followed by the roasted vegetables and chickpeas. Top with avocado crema and serve.
