Roasted Broccoli Bowls

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 ºF. Trim and discard the ends of the broccoli, then chop the tender stems and cut the crowns into florets. In a large mixing bowl toss the broccoli with the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Transfer them to a parchment or silicon mat lined baking tray and bake until the edges are crispy and bordering on burnt and the stems are tender, about 25-35 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Step 2

In a blender combine the sunflower seeds and water and blend until smooth and creamy. Add the roasted red pepper, salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes and blend until smooth. Makes about 1 1/2 cups sauce.

Step 3

Slice the seitan sausage and fry in a little bit of oil to warm up and get a little color.

Step 4

Assemble the bowls. Add quinoa, roasted broccoli, and pan fried vegan sausage to each bowl, drizzle with sauce and finish with fresh herbs and red pepper flakes. Toss together before eating!
