Instructions

Step 1

Cook the rice or quinoa according to package directions. If using leftover grains, skip this step.

Step 2

While grains cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add all chopped vegetables to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Add drained beans to the skillet along with paprika, cumin, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add soy sauce and lemon juice to the skillet, stirring to coat all ingredients evenly. Cook for 1 more minute.

Step 7

To assemble bowls, divide cooked grains among four bowls. Top with vegetable-bean mixture.

Step 8

Add any optional toppings you have available. Serve immediately or store for meal prep.
