Vegetarian buddha bowl
For an easy and healthy lunch, nothing beats a Buddha Bowl! The principle is simple: combine vegetables, proteins, and starches in a bowl to create a balanced meal. Here, I've chosen a vegetarian version with foods rich in plant-based proteins (avocado, red lentil pasta). Plus, thanks to the red lentil pasta, this Buddha Bowl is also gluten-free!
Ingredients
Materials
- Steamer
Preparation
- After rinsing the vegetables:
-Cut the carrot in half and then into slices.

Steam them for 15 to 20 minutes until they are crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. - Cook the red lentil pasta according to the instructions on your package. The advantage of red lentil pasta is that it cooks in just 4 minutes!
- After draining the cooked pasta, place it in a bowl and add the cooked vegetables on top. Slice the half avocado and add it to the bowl.
