Ingredients
  

2 cups of fresh broccoli florets

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

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cooked quinoa (or brown rice)

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional but recommended)

Fresh lemon juice, to taste

Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnishing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that the broccoli will roast evenly.

    Prepare the Broccoli: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything thoroughly until the broccoli is well coated with the oil and seasonings, ensuring every piece is evenly seasoned.

      Roast the Broccoli: Transfer the seasoned broccoli to a baking sheet, spreading it out in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the edges to turn crispy while the florets become tender.

        Warm the White Beans: While the broccoli is roasting, pour the drained white beans into a small saucepan. Add a splash of water or vegetable broth to help heat the beans without drying them out. Heat over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently until they are warmed through. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.

          Assemble the Bowls: In each serving bowl, start with a generous scoop of cooked quinoa or brown rice as your base. Layer on the roasted broccoli, followed by the warm white beans and the halved cherry tomatoes for a pop of color and flavor.

            Add Cheese and Lemon: If you’re using feta cheese, sprinkle it generously over the bowl for added creaminess and flavor. Drizzle fresh lemon juice across the top to brighten the dish and enhance the flavors.

              Garnish: Lastly, finish the bowls with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley. This not only adds a burst of color but also a fresh herbaceous note.

                Enjoy your vibrant and nourishing Roasted Broccoli and White Bean Bowl!
