Begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Add the broccoli and peppers to the baking sheet (grouping them together by veggie type + spreading them out to a single layer). Drizzle with 1-2 Tbsps olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp: salt, black pepper, garlic powder, + basil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the veggies are wilted and golden/charred. Remove from oven.
TO MAKE THE GREEN GODDESS DRESSING/SAUCE:
TO SERVE + ASSEMBLE:
To serve, add a spoonful of cooked rice to a low bowl(s), followed by: roasted broccoli, peppers, and cooked green peas, lining them side by side. Top with buffalo popcorn chicken and creamy green goddess dressing/sauce.
