Winter Squash Buddha Bowl

An easy plant-based dinner big on flavor

Winter Squash Buddha Bowl

Fresh, Savory and Delicious!

Today was one of those gorgeous Fall days that felt like summer.  Since it was just me for dinner, I roasted a batch of my favorite Spiced Roasted Butternut Squash and made a Buddha Bowl that felt Fall like but was still fresh and light in keeping with the warm day.

Spiced Butternut Squash, 20 minute Pickled Cabbage, 10 minute Pickled Cucumber, Black Beans, Corn, Tomatoes and Avocado.  Packed with flavor and so delicious!

Super easy and best part, it can be all prepped ahead and heated up/ assembled when ready to eat.
