Vegan Roasted Vegetable Burrito Bowl - Freezer Meal

Evening Chickpeas!

This is one of my all time favorite go-to lunch/freezer meals. I travel a lot for work and also I just like have prepared healthy meals ready in my house to save money and keep the waist trim so this recipe has become one of my stable freezer meals good for lunch or even dinner. I make it vegan because I like to eat vegan a few times a week but it can easily be transformed with some grilled chicken, sour cream, cheese, etc.

Roasted Veggie and Black Bean Rice Bowl

I must say I also make this recipe with NO ADDED SALT - it has soooooooo much flavor between the roasted vegetables with chili powder and the lime cilantro rice that I do not miss it at all. I have a low sodium salsa I put on top that usually adds a bit of salt but overall this is a very low sodium dish and you will not miss it at all.

I had a bag of dried beans so I just used that as opposed to canned black bean. Ignore all the soak for 6-8 hours. That is never really necessary.

I also made the lime cilantro rice which is my favorite recipe for any Mexican, Chinese, or any added flavor to rice.

This night I only had chili powder, garlic, and olive oil so that's what I used to dress onions,sweet potatoes, and jalapeno and it was just as good.

Chili Powder, Olive Oil, Garlic
Chunks of Sweet Potatoes and Onion to good bite size pieces

Then roast - my favorite way to make any vegetable delicious.



And finally - assemble

All the fixin's



Perfect little freezer meals - I add shredded lettuce and salsa for a little vegan burrito bowl.'

Enjoy!!
