What Is A Nourish Bowl?
A Nourish Bowl is a bowl filled with a variety of hearty, flavourful ingredients. They almost always contain a healthy mix of veggies, grains and some sort of greens. The ingredients taste absolutely divine when mixed together, complementing each other perfectly.
Fall Nourish Bowl Ingredients
The entire Nourish bowl works so well for meal prep. I love to batch cook the ingredients separately so I can combine them in any quantity that I feel like, and store them in the fridge. They last the whole week.
- Cooked farro (can substitute any grain)
- Roasted brussel sprouts
- Breaded eggplant
- Kale
- Roasted sweet potato & radish
- Topped with pomegranate seeds
How To Batch Cook
Batch cooking is going to be a time-saver for any of you who have a super busy life. Instead of spending each day in the kitchen, just batch cook one day a week. Every Sunday, I roast a tray full of vegetables that I can use in bowls, salads, pasta, sandwiches, basically anything you want vegetables for.
Roasting vegetables is a healthy, low-fat option that brings out the concentrated flavour and natural sweetness of the vegetables.
If you haven’t roasted vegetables before, here are some quick tips to get the most out of your roasting time:
- Roast vegetables with similar textures and size together. Example: Roots and tubers togethers, squash together, mushrooms, brassica flowers and buds (cauliflower, broccoli)
- Don’t overcrowd the pan or you risk steaming the vegetables instead of roasting.
- Use oil sparingly. You don’t want soggy, oily veggies.
- Roasting time depends on the size of the vegetables. (Between 25-45mins)
- Taste test vegetables for doneness. They should be fork-tender – not mushy.
