Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Thinly slice 1 red onion and place it on the baking sheet.

Thinly slice 1/2 red bell pepper and 1/2 green bell pepper and add them to the baking sheet.

Chop 150 g of broccolini into bite-sized pieces and add to the baking sheet.

Drizzle the veggies with avocado oil and season with salt and black pepper, then toss to coat.

Prepare another baking tray lined with parchment paper and add a mix of mushrooms (crimini, shiitake, and oyster), roughly chopped.

Drizzle the mushrooms with avocado oil and season with salt and pepper, then mix to coat.

Rinse and drain a 400 ml can of chickpeas and place them in a mixing bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Add 1 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp chili oil, and 1 tsp sweet paprika to the chickpeas and toss to coat.

Spread the chickpeas onto the baking tray beside the mushrooms and bake in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes.

In the meantime, rinse 1 1/2 cups short grain rice and add it to a pot with 1 1/2 cups water over medium-high heat.

Once the water begins to bubble, stir the rice, cover, and cook on medium-low for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice steam for another 10 minutes.

In a bowl, mix together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp chili oil, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 2 tsp yuzu.

Fluff the rice with a fork and assemble the bowl by starting with the rice, then adding the roasted veggies and chickpeas, and spooning over the sauce.
