ROASTED PLANTAIN & BLACK BEAN VEGAN BOWL
The foundation of the bowl is beans and rice, but the star of this series in our view is that the plantains, which can be thrown in oil and sea salt and roasted in high heat to perfection. The outcome is plantains which are caramelized and crispy and they match with all the savory tastes in this particular bowl.
The sky is the limit when it comes to toppings As an example. Along with the cabbage slaw that was simple we travelled for also this wonderful 5-ingredient Habanero Hot Sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and avocado.
A vegan bowl with avocado, black beans, roasted plantains, rice, and slaw. Top with habanero hot sauce lime juice to get a savory meal that is 10-ingredient.
