Restaurant-quality at home. The marinade tip in the notes made all the difference — will cook again.

Great balance of protein and veg. I swapped chicken for tofu and it still came out fantastic.
Cook's notes
The better you squeeze the excess moisture out of the zucchini, the better the patties will hold their shape.
Do not make the patties too thick — this ensures they bake faster and more evenly.
Let the patties rest for 5 minutes after baking — this will make them even juicier.
Serve with Greek yogurt, a light yogurt sauce, or a fresh vegetable salad.
Tips & variations
Prep ahead
Roast the sweet potatoes and cook the grains the night before — the bowl comes together in minutes.
Make it vegetarian
Swap the chicken for grilled tofu or crispy chickpeas without losing the protein punch.
Store & reheat
Keeps for 3 days in an airtight container. Add the avocado fresh, just before serving.
Boost the flavour
A squeeze of lemon and a pinch of flaky salt right before eating brightens the whole bowl.
