Tikka Buddha Bowl

A hearty bowl of grain, greens, beans—plus a simmer sauce to pull it all together. We love roasting the veggies first to bring out their natural sweetness. Then we pair them with chickpeas simmered in our Vegan Tikka Masala sauce. We like pea shoots and cashews, but use any sprouts and nuts that inspire you.
