Jasmine Rice Bowl

A one pot wonder is a meal you can make using only one dish and this meal is just that! Jasmine rice bowls are perfect for busy week nights when you are in a mad dash to put food on the table. You can easily prep your veggies in advance so dinner is ready in just 20 minutes. Most of that is hands off time.

Make sure to watch the rice closely toward the end of the cooking time and add more broth if needed. If you simmer at too high of a temperature, your broth will absorb too quickly and you may need to add up to a 1/2 cup more to finish cooking the rice. To save time chopping vegetables, simply place carrot, onion, and pepper in a food processor and pulse a few times until everything is finely chopped.

This meal is made with healthy plant-based ingredients. Chickpeas are known for being a great source of plant-based protein and can help protect you against heart disease by balancing your cholesterol levels. Carrots, bell peppers, and peas are all high in healthy antioxidants! Jasmine rice is a complex carbohydrate so it will give lots of energy, plus it has vitamins and minerals that benefit your skin. This meal will leave you satisfied and feeling great.
