Dairy Free

Not only are they ridiculously simple, these Thai peanut burrito bowls are completely and utterly out-of-this-world tasty.

How to Prepare Thai Peanut Burrito Bowls [Vegan]

To Make the Rice and Vegetables:

Prepare the rice according to package instructions, adding tamari or liquid aminos to the water during cooking.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place broccoli and red pepper onto the prepared baking sheet and toss with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until broccoli is charred. Toss every couple of minutes to ensure even cooking.

To Make the Thai Peanut Sauce:

While the rice is cooking and vegetables are roasting, add peanut butter, garlic, ginger, Sriracha, maple syrup, and tamari or liquid aminos to a small bowl. Slowly add some hot water to thin, and mix to combine. You'll want the sauce pourable, but not overly watery. Use your judgement here. Taste, and adjust as needed.

Assembly:

First, place rice in the bottom of a bowl. Add vegetables, and douse with your Thai peanut sauce. Top with chopped peanuts, green onion, and lime juice, if desired. Serve with extra sauce and Sriracha.
