Ingredients

2 cups noodles of your choice or enough for 2 people, cooked
3 cups green lettuce
1 bunch of broccolini
2 cups butternut squash peeled and cubed
2 cups raw zucchini noodles (zoodles) or sliced cucumber
1 cup microgreens
½ batch of avocado green goddess dressing see notes

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 375º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
If not done already, start by preparing the avocado green goddess sauce. Set aside (can be made ahead).
Clean and trim the edges of the broccolini. You can also slice in half the broccolini that are thicker. Also, peel and dice (bite size) the butternut squash.
Add the butternut squash on the baking sheet, toss with some salt and pepper (and olive oil, if desired) and roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Then, take them out, flip the pieces and push them on one side of the baking sheet. Place the broccolini on the other side and add salt and pepper (+/- olive oil). Cook for about 15 more minutes.
When ready to eat, transfer the cooked noodles and the lettuce to the bottom of 2 bowls, then top with the roasted veggies, zucchini noodles and sprouts. Drizzle with the green goddess dressing and enjoy!

Notes

Nourish bowls are so versatile, so feel free to get creative and use your favorite ingredients!
Ideas to boost the protein content: chickpeas or other beans, smoky tofu or miso tempeh, edamame, falafel, nuts or seeds.
If you don't find zucchini noodles, then swap for sliced cucumber.
If using oil to roast the veggies, then try using an oil spray as it helps limiting the amount of added fat. You can also omit the oil!
Make the green goddess sauce ahead of time if possible. Not only will it help develop the flavor, but also will save lots of time when ready to eat.
Store any leftovers apart from each other in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you are into meal-prep, then you can also prepare each components ahead of time: simply reheat the noodles and roasted veggies using the microwave, then build your nourish bowl within 10 minutes!
