The destroyer
This recipe came from a craving I was having for my Miso Pepita Broiled Squash but couldn’t remember what was in it aside from miso – and then I went in a wildly different direction because of what I had on hand + FODMAP issues. Actually, that other recipe is pretty FODMAP-friendly as well, in case you want to give it a whirl.
Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, FODMAP

Orange Miso Bowl
Medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
Medium to large sweet potato, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
Large carrot, cut into bite-sized chunks
2 Tbsp. white miso
1 Tbsp. crushed or grated ginger
1 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup or date syrup
Juice + zest of 1 orange
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt, pepper and ground cumin
Preheat your oven to 200C/400F. Whiz all the non-veggie ingredients together (minus the spices) to form a dressing.
Chuck your veggies onto a large prepared baking sheet, and drizzle half the dressing over top. Toss to coat well. Sprinkle with the spices.
Bake for 25 – 35 minutes or until done to your liking. Pull from the oven, drizzle with the second half of the dressing, and serve.
Serves 4 – 6, depending on serving size and what you do with it. I ate mine most days with a little protein and called it a meal. I had intended on serving with wilted baby spinach and had thoughts of turning it into a hash one day – but those things never quite materialized.

Ooooooooooooohkay – so, in my defense, this looked in focus in the dark while walking the pups.

Quality picture taking, there. 😆

What did I learn this week?
Having 1 thing you batch cooked that can be switched up a ton of different ways makes every meal feel full of possibilities.
Sure, I only had a set number of toppings to choose from, but I could load my bowl down with a couple bites of a ton of different tastes and textures.
I think this is the key to batch cooking – good thing, since I love me a good dinner/Buddha/nourish/whatever the Pinterest kids are calling it this week bowl.
