Black Bean Bowl Recipe
1 serving, 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup black beans: Cooked and drained
- 2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds: Roasted
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes: Halved
- 1 avocado: Mashed and seasoned (e.g. with salt, pepper, lemon juice)
- 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt: A dollop in the middle
- 1 handful of broccoli microgreens
Instructions
- Prepare the beans: If the beans are not already cooked, cook them according to the package instructions (usually about simmering for 1 hour after soaking overnight). Drain and set aside.
- Roasting pumpkin seeds: Heat a dry pan over medium heat. Add the pumpkin seeds to the pan and roast, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare the avocado: Scoop out the avocado flesh into a small bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth. Season the mashed avocado with a pinch of salt, pepper, and any other desired spices, along with a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
- Assemble the bowl: Place a dollop of Greek yogurt in the center of a bowl. Arrange the cooked black beans, mashed avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes around the yogurt. Sprinkle the roasted pumpkin seeds over the bowl. Garnish with a handful of broccoli microgreens and enjoy!
