How to Prepare Jamaican Power Bowl [Vegan]
To Roast the Jerk Butternut Squash:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare TWO baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, add the butternut squash along with the olive oil and jerk seasoning, gently mixing everything together until the squash is fully coated.
- Add the butternut squash unto one of the baking sheet (in a single layer) and and bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are charred, tender, and crisp.
To Roast the Veggies:
- Add the brussels sprouts, potatoes and sweet peppers in a bowl with olive oil + herb seasonings, mixing everything together until veggies are fully coated. Place veggies unto the other prepared baking sheet separately grouped and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the brussels sprouts and sweet peppers are golden, wilted, and crisp.
To Make the Light Stew:
- Add 1-2 Tbsps of olive oil to a medium 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add in the garlic, onion, and carrot and Sauté for 1-2 minutes until slightly tender and fragrant. Stir in the seasonings.
- Next, add the beans, veggie stock, and coconut cream/milk, stirring everything together and bringing it all to a boil. Once it begins to boil, add the scotch bonnet peppers and reduce heat to low and let simmer for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat once done.
To Assemble:
- To assemble: in a bowl or a large platter---evenly spoon the ingredients side by side as follows: cooked quinoa, roasted potatoes, roasted tomatoes, roasted sweet pepper, light stew peas, roasted jerk veggies and top with diced avocado and a drizzle of lemon-garlic dressing.
Notes
- STORAGE: Place any leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- POTATOES: For an extra kick, you can always substitute Yukon potatoes with baby red potatoes, sweet potatoes (sliced in rounds), etc.
- OIL: If you'd like to use an alternative to olive oil, you can also use melted vegan butter, coconut oil, or grapeseed oil.
- DRESSING (STORAGE): Leftover dressing can be kept in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- COCONUT MILK: Makes things nice + creamy; If using the canned coconut milk instead of canned coconut cream, be sure to refrigerate overnight to make it thick.
- HERB ROASTED TOMATOES T:o make this, see my recipe here.
- MAKE AHEAD: All ingredients can be made and individually stored as meal prep and assembled when ready to serve.
