Introduction

This roasted teriyaki veg bowl is a vibrant and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any day of the week. Packed with colorful vegetables, protein-rich chickpeas, and flavorful teriyaki sauce, it’s both nutritious and delicious.

A white plate filled with a base layer of cooked brown rice, topped unevenly with roasted chickpeas scattered throughout. Above that, there are several roasted vegetables: bright green broccolini with slightly charred edges, caramelized red onion wedges with a shiny glaze, roasted red bell pepper strips, and light green grilled fennel pieces sprinkled with black sesame seeds. Thin rings of white onion and slivers of fresh green scallions are placed on top, along with a few toasted white sesame seeds scattered over all the layers. A silver fork rests on the left side of the plate, partially touching the food, and the plate sits on a white marbled surface with a greenish cloth napkin to the upper left.

Ingredients

300g long-stemmed broccoli
2 baby pak choi, quartered
2 red onions, cut into 3cm wedges
1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced
4 carrots, chopped into wedges
400g can chickpeas, drained
2 tbsp sesame or olive oil
4 tbsp teriyaki sauce
1 large thumb-size piece of ginger, grated
400g cooked brown rice
4 spring onions, finely sliced
1 tbsp toasted black and white sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan/gas mark 7). Chop the broccoli stalks, keeping the florets whole, and place all of it in a large bowl.
Step 2: Add the quartered pak choi, red onion wedges, sliced red pepper, carrot wedges, drained chickpeas (pat dry with kitchen paper), oil, 3 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce, and grated ginger to the bowl. Toss everything together until well coated, then season lightly.
Step 3: Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on a large non-stick baking sheet in a single layer. Use two trays if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Step 4: Roast the vegetables in the oven for 35–40 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they begin to brown and caramelize.
Step 5: When there are 5 minutes left of roasting time, gently heat the cooked brown rice until warm.
Step 6: Divide the warm rice between bowls, then top with the roasted vegetables.
Step 7: Drizzle over the remaining 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce and finish by scattering the sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds on top.

Tips & Variations

For added protein, try swapping chickpeas with tofu cubes or cooked chicken pieces.
Use tamari or a gluten-free teriyaki sauce to make this dish gluten-free.
Feel free to add other favorite veggies like mushrooms or snap peas according to season.
Grate extra ginger for a stronger zing if you enjoy more spice.

Storage

Store any leftover roasted vegetables and rice separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a pan over low heat, adding a splash of water to prevent drying out. The dish is best eaten fresh for optimal texture.
