Nurodymai

To make these bowls, start by preparing the rice. Cook the rice according to your preferred method, and set it aside.

Next, preheat your oven to 400F.

Prepare the zucchini by washing it and dicing it into bite-sized pieces. Once all of the zucchinis have been washed and dice, transfer them to a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil and sea salt. Toss to combine.

Transfer the zucchini into the oven and allow them to bake for 15-20 minutes, being sure to toss them at the halfway point.

During the last two minutes of baking, turn the broiler onto high and allow the zucchini to cook under the broiler, until the edges are nice and crispy.

Once the zucchini is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool.

While the zucchini is in the oven, prepare the chicken. In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, tomato paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Set it aside.

Next, heat a nonstick skillet on the stove, over medium-high heat, and add in the olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, add in the ground chicken and use a spatula to break it down into tiny pieces.

Allow the chicken to cooked until it's fully cooked through. Then, once the chicken is cooked through, pour in the sauce and allow the chicken to cooked until the chicken is cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Then, add in the sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Continue to cook the chicken until all of the liquid has been absorbed, then remove it from the heat.

Finally, assemble the bowls. Add a scoop of rice to the bottom of the bowl, followed by the roasted zucchini and the garlic sesame chicken.

Garnish with additional sliced green onions, then serve and enjoy!
