The Mighty Caesar Bowl | Vegan + Gluten-free | Sheet Pan Recipe

Hello friends, Joy here. I'm gonna show you how to make this amazingly delicious and super convenient roasted veggie bowl with a Caesar dressing. It has so much flavor, and you might even have all these ingredients in your kitchen right now. So I just wanna thank Mother Raw for sponsoring this video because their dressings are amazingly delicious and made from all real and organic ingredients. So what makes this bowl like super convenient is that I have roasted all my veggies ahead of time because I love sheet pan cooking, and I'm using a ready-made salad dressing. You might be like, Joy, you're using a ready-made salad dressing? Yes, but it's nothing artificial. It's made from the purest ingredients. It's all organic, totally plant-based, so delicious. I'm gonna talk about it in a minute. So as I mentioned, I already roasted some wonderful vegetables. I've got yellow and red beets, sweet potato, parsnips, and I topped them with some olive oil and some rosemary and some garlic powder. So I did that ahead of time, and I have this for the week. I can make so many salad bowls. And then finally, I've got my grain here, which, well, quinoa isn't technically a grain. It's actually a seed. You could use brown rice, or you could use quinoa if you like. I chose quinoa because it is a complete protein. Okay, so once I do my sheet pan cooking, I actually put them into storage containers and leave them in my fridge. And then when I'm about to make a salad for lunch or for dinner, I just take them out. Easy assembly. I have an amazingly delicious meal in no time. Okay, let's build this bowl, shall we? Okay, so I've got some greens, a few leafy greens. I'm using some kale. Not a ton of kale, though, because I've got a lot of other ingredients. So I'm just gonna break it up with my hands, kind of into bite-sized pieces. Remove it from the thick stem, because that part is not, the texture is just, you know, not the nicest. So the key, and you guys have heard me say this before, the key with kale is to chop it and massage it lots, okay? Because otherwise the texture is very coarse. Get in there. And that helps to soften the tough, fibrous bits of the kale. See how it's getting smaller? Okay, so let's get assembling now. So I've got my nice big wood bowl here. I'm gonna add some quinoa. Okay, so now I'm gonna add some kale, and I'm also gonna add a little bit of parsley. I'll just rip this with my hands, because we want this to be convenient. Super, super duper easy. If you don't like parsley, you could use basil, you could use cilantro, whatever you like. Mix it all in. I'm gonna put a little bit of sea salt. Okay, salt really brings out the flavor. Okay, so now let's add our roasted vegetables. Look at all this color, it's so beautiful. Color is a cue for health. We've got lots of gut-loving fiber, so very easy to digest. Okay, what do you think? How's that look so far? And now I have a whole variety of seeds. I love adding seeds, so I'm gonna add some sesame seeds. Seeds also add a little bit of protein too. And some pumpkin seeds, good source of zinc. These are Hungarian pumpkin seeds, that's why they're so dark. Okay, so now for our Caesar dressing. So I wanna tell you a little bit about this dressing, because it's incredibly delicious, and when it comes to bottled salad dressings, Mother Raw is awesome. Now normally I would not use a bottled salad dressing, but I love this one, because there's nothing artificial in it. There's no hydrogenated oils, there's no sugar, no excessive salt, so it definitely speaks to my nutritionist heart, and it's so delicious. What I love about this salad bowl, is there's so much texture. You've got a bit of crunchiness from the seeds that I've put in. You have the chewy texture of all these wonderful roasted fruit vegetables. It's so, it's like all the perfect textures and flavors together are just like pure magic. So I actually think we can call this the world's most convenient salad bowl, because we have our bottled salad dressing that's made with all real ingredients, and we already prepped with the sheet pan recipes. Super, super easy. So if you love this recipe, give me a thumbs up, hit the little bell so you always get a notification when I have a new recipe or a new video, and comment below and tell me when you make it how delicious it is. So I hope you have a joyous day and enjoy the recipe. Bye guys.
