Bowl Ingredients:

• 1 red onion
• 1/2 red bell pepper
• 1/2 green pepper
• 150g broccolini
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1lb mixed mushrooms
• 400ml canned chickpeas
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp chili oil
• 1 tsp sweet paprika

Rice Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups short grain rice
• 1 1/2 cups water

Sauce Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp chili oil
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp yuzu

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Ready a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
2. Thinly slice the red onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Chop the broccolini into bite-sized pieces. Place the veggies into their own section on the baking tray and drizzle over some avocado oil. Season with salt and pepper. Give the veggies a little toss to coat.
3. Ready another baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roughly chop the mushrooms and place onto the baking tray. Drizzle over some avocado oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Rinse and drain the chickpeas and place in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Then, add the maple syrup, chili oil, and sweet paprika. Toss to coat and transfer to the baking sheet (alongside the mushrooms). Bake both sheets in the oven for about 25-30 minutes.
5. In the meantime, make the rice by adding it to a small saucepan. Rinse and drain 2-3 times. Then, add 1 1/2 cups of water to heat on medium-high heat. When it begins to bubble, give it a good stir. Then, cover and cook on medium-low for 15 minutes.
6. Make the sauce by combining the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
7. After 15 minutes, turn the heat off on the rice and let it steam further for another 10 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork or rice paddle. Take the veggies out of the oven and assemble your rice bowls. Pour some sauce over to serve.
