Spicy Gochujang Veggie Bowl

There is something about the weather cooling that just makes me crave spicy, roasted winter veggies. This rice bowl is deeply nourishing, super easy to make and really satisfies that cozy, lets stay in and order take-out vibe.

If you're not familiar with Gochujang, its a slightly spicy, fermented chili-paste. Its flavors are rich and deep and complex, and irresistible on almost anything. But pairing it with roasted veggies and bowl of warm jasmine rice will soothe something deep in your being.

Not to mention it smells incredible roasting in your oven.
