Ingredients
  

1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets

1 can (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or navy), drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Juice of ½ lemon

Fresh parsley or basil, finely chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Crumbled feta cheese or nutritional yeast for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the broccoli.

    Prepare the Broccoli: In a large mixing bowl, add the broccoli florets. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss everything gently until the florets are thoroughly coated in the seasoning.

      Roast the Broccoli: Transfer the seasoned broccoli onto a baking sheet, spreading it out in a single layer for even roasting. Place it in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli edges are crispy and tender when pierced with a fork.

        Heat the Beans: While the broccoli roasts, take a small saucepan and add the drained white beans. Pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through.

          Prepare the Grains: If you haven't done so already, follow the package instructions to cook your quinoa or brown rice. This can usually be done while your broccoli is roasting.

            Assemble the Bowl: Once everything is ready, take serving bowls and start by creating a base layer of cooked quinoa or rice. Generously top it with roasted broccoli, warmed white beans, and halved cherry tomatoes.

              Finish with Lemon: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over each bowl for an added burst of flavor. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil for a fresh touch. For an optional twist, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese or nutritional yeast for an extra layer of flavor.

                Serve and Enjoy: Mix the ingredients together in your bowl and savor your nutritious, flavor-packed Roasted Broccoli and White Bean Power Bowl!
