10-Minute Veggie Power Bowl

🥦10-Minute Veggie Power Bowl (Healthy & Lazy Lunch)

Total time: 10 minutes
Serves: 1 (or double if you’re feeling generous)
Difficulty: You could do this half-asleep.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup broccoli florets

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• ½ cup chickpeas (canned, drained, patted dry)

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• Salt & pepper

• Optional toppings: avocado slices, hummus, or a fried egg

Instructions:

1. Toss all the veggies and chickpeas in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Add them to the air fryer basket liner (makes cleanup a breeze) and cook at 380°F (193°C) for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway.

3. While that crisps up, prep your toppings — or just scroll through Pinterest pretending you’re meal-prepping.

4. Toss everything into a bowl and top with your favorites.

Why we love it: Fast, filling, and flexible. Plus, it’s sustainable — perfect for using up veggies on the brink of retirement.
