Roasted Vegetable Dirt Bowl Recipes

ROASTED VEGETABLE DIRT BOWL

Steps:

• For the vegetables: Preheat a pizza oven or regular oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the shishitos and baby bell peppers to a baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and toss to combine. Roast, flipping halfway, until slightly charred on all sides, about 15 minutes.
• For the "dirt": Add the butter, olives, cocoa powder, seaweed, garlic cloves and salt to taste to a blender and process until fully blended. Pour over the panko in a large bowl and thoroughly mix until combined and the breadcrumbs look like "dirt". Pour this mixture onto a silicone mat-lined sheet tray. Bake until dried out and crunchy, about 20 minutes.
• For the tofu sauce: Meanwhile, add the tofu, Dijon, soy sauce and olive oil to a blender and blend until smooth and the consistency of mayonnaise. Season with salt to taste.
• Spoon some of the tofu sauce into the bottom of a large bowl. Add your desired vegetables to the bowl plus the roasted peppers, standing up the vegetables as if they are growing out of the ground. Liberally spoon the "dirt" on top of the vegetables and sauce. Garnish with fennel fronds and serve with extra sauce and dirt on the side.

Toss to combine. Bake for a total of 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and tender.
• To the second baking sheet, add the cabbage, bell pepper, and broccolini. Drizzle with with the remaining half of the oil (or water), curry powder, and sea salt (as original recipe is written- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) oil (or water), 1/2 tsp curry powder, and 1/4 tsp sea salt). Toss to combine.
• When the potatoes/carrots hit the 10-minute mark, add the second pan to the oven and bake for a total of 15-20 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of baking, add the collard greens or kale to either pan and roast until tender and bright green.
• To serve, divide vegetables between serving plates and garnish with avocado (optional) and season with lemon juice, tahini, hemp seeds, and another pinch of sea salt (optional). You could also garnish with any fresh herbs you have!
• Best when fresh. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven or on the stovetop over medium heat until hot.

Arrange the onions next to the chickpeas, then the sweet potatoes and lastly the mushrooms. Toss the onions, sweet potatoes and mushrooms with the remaining 3 teaspoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Bake until the chickpeas are a bit crunchy and the sweet potatoes are softened and starting to turn brown in a few spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
