Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 8 oz tempeh, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  2. Prepare the Tempeh: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix the sliced tempeh with soy sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the tempeh on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Roast the Tempeh: Bake the tempeh in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of water or oil. Sauté the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice, roasted tempeh, and sautéed vegetables. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
  6. Serve: Enjoy your Vegan Brown Rice and Roasted Tempeh Bowl warm, and feel free to drizzle with your favorite sauce or dressing.
