The beauty about grain bowls is that they're infinitely adaptable. You can roast just about any veggie and it'll taste amazing in this recipe. Or you can skip the chicken and make a hearty beef Buddha bowl instead. You're not gonna want to skip the peanut butter dressing though. It's insanely addictive and one of our favorite sauces EVER.
