Bowery Grain Bowl

Savory Recipes
Grain bowls—part salad, part hearty vegetables, part filling grains—are some of my favorite fall meals. They can be eaten warm or cold and are great for easy meal prep or packable lunches. Cover it in miso vinaigrette and you have a truly mouthwatering meal that can be topped with any protein of your choice, from grilled salmon to crispy tofu to a jammy egg. You can’t get better than this.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry quinoa
- 3 sweet potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, grated with a microplane
- 4 portobello mushrooms, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2" pieces
- 3-4 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1/4" pieces

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 package Bowery Farming Baby Kale, chopped
- 1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
blank
- 1/3 cup olive oil

- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano

Directions
Bring two cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa and cook until all of the broth is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.

- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and air fry at 350°F for 18 minutes.

- Add the broccoli to the pan and season with salt and garlic powder. Cook until the broccoli is fork tender.
- In a large bowl, combine equal parts of the quinoa, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, red bell pepper, scallions, toasted pumpkin seeds, and broccoli.
- Roughly chop the baby kale and fold into the mixture.
- Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients until emulsified and pour over the salad. Toss to coat evenly.
