Nourish Bowls – Keep warm and nourished with this nutrient dense Roasted Nourish Bowl recipe featuring sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, chickpeas, fresh spinach, quinoa and avocado! It’s easy to make and ready in under 1 hour.
Last spring I shared this Everyday Nourish Bowl recipe which is full of fresh vegetables and thought it’d be a good idea to have a roasted version here too for the cooler months. It’s just as well-balanced and delicious!
This time of year as the season changes from summer to autumn I find myself craving warm baked goods and just about anything roasted. At the moment I’ve been obsessed with making these pumpkin and banana breads.
Between easy vegetable bowl recipes, like this Roasted Nourish Bowl, that are great for lunch, dinner and meal prep, and my breads that I eat in the morning (and as a snack or dessert), I’m ready for the cooler months to come. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll appreciate the simplicity of this nutrient dense nourish bowl!
Enjoy every bite, and be warm & well-nourished!
Ingredients You’ll Need
There a quite a few vegetables in this nourish bowl recipe. If you can’t get them all in that’s ok, a various few will be enough. Feel free to add or subtract ingredients building your own nourish bowls.
- Olive oil.Use your favorite oil or flavor infused oil.
- Sweet potato.Leave the skin on for the most nutrition, just be sure to scrub them before cutting.
- Carrots.Use baby carrots for ease as you can roast them whole.
- Brussles sprouts.If you don’t care for brussles sprouts, use 1 small beet (red or yellow).
- Broccoli florets.Use cauliflower if you prefer.
- Red onion.Any color will do, use your favorite or what you have on hand.
- Serrano chilis.Serrano peppers are optional. I personally love the heat they give and they are wonderful roasted! You can sub 3 jalapeno peppers as well.
- Chickpeas.Use canned for ease or freshly cooked.
- Lemons.Roasted lemons are a great way to add a little extra flavor to roasted vegetables.
- Grain.I paired my nourish bowls with quinoa, but feel free to use white, black or brown rice, farro, or your preferred grain.
- Hummus.If you don’t have hummus on hand or want to vary it up, try using these dressings and sauces instead: Lemon-Tahini Dressing, Sriracha Cashew Sauce, or tahini based Dynamite Sauce.
- Hemp hearts.Adds a healthy dose of omegas and other essential vitamins and minerals.
- Red pepper flakes.Add a touch of more heat and sprinkle of color.
- Mineral salt & fresh cracked pepper.Season to taste.

Notes
Vegetables can vary in quantity. Add or subtract to your liking.
Change up the quinoa with Farro, spelt berries, brown rice, white rice or barley.
If you have a favorite herb or herb blend, you may consider adding a dash or two to the veggies before roasting.
Serrano peppers are optional. I personally love the heat they give and they are wonderful roasted! You can sub 3 jalapeno peppers as well.
If you don’t have hummus on hand or want to vary it up, try using these dressings and sauces instead: Lemon-Tahini Dressing, Sriracha Cashew Sauce, tahini based Dynamite Sauce or Creamy Tahini Hippie Sauce, For a non-creamy dressing, try this Shallot Vinaigrette.
Cooking quinoa: I had a comment about cooking quinoa so here is my recipe for perfect quinoa.
In a medium size pot, bring 1 3/4 cup water + 1 cup quinoa to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Once done, turn off heat, remove cover, fluff with fork and let set 10 – 15 minutes.
Perfect quinoa every time! Makes about 3 cups. Feel free to add a little seasoning to the quinoa before cooking like garlic powder, thyme, garlic salt, mineral salt, lemon pepper, everyday seasoning, etc. Or simply season once done. This will give you more than called for in the recipe…leftovers can be served chilled or warmed with your favorite vegetables or fruits.
