  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions.

  2. 2

    Roast the Plantains

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and slice the plantains into 1-inch thick pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and caramelized.

    While the rice and plantains are cooking, chop the fresh bell peppers, cucumber, carrots, and onion into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Make the Tomato Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat the tomato sauce over medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the ginger habanero sauce to make it spicy.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a bowl, layer the jasmine rice, roasted plantains, chopped vegetables, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with the spiced tomato sauce and serve with additional ginger habanero sauce on the side.
