LET’S GET BUDDHA BOWL IDEAS FROM THIS RECIPE

Air-fried garbanzo beans, seasonally fresh cauliflower, on a bed of greens, cooked rice, and topped with vegan ranch, garnished with microgreens.  Does that sound delicious or what.  Great idea for a Buddha Bowl if I do say so myself.  Air-frying garbanzo beans will add that crunch to every bite, giving it a satisfying texture.  The rice will help to keep you full for a good amount of time, and the ranch dressing gives it that added zing!
