Spicy Vegetarian Watermelon Poke Bowls

Cook rice according to package directions using 2 cups water. Cool and refrigerate.

Whisk together sesame oil, rice vinegar and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Add watermelon; toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature 15 minutes.

Bake watermelon for 40 to 45 minutes or until slightly golden, turning occasionally. Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. 

To serve, divide rice among 4 serving bowls. Arrange baked watermelon, carrots, edamame and pineapple on top of rice. Drizzle with bang bang sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
