Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups jasmine brown or white rice
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 head cauliflower (florets cut into 1/4 inch slices)
  • 3 small sweet potatoes (cut into pieces)
  • 2 red bell pepper (cut into pieces)
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • chopped parsley for topping

Toppings

  • store-bought or homemade pesto
  • salt, pepper & crushed red pepper

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400F.
  2. To cook rice in the instant pot, add the 2 cups rice, 2.5 cups water, 1 tbsp coconut oil. Close and seal the lid. Select the rice setting.
  3. Cut cauliflower florets into 1/4 inch slices. Arrange on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt + pepper. Arrange in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, periodically testing for doneness.
  4. Cut sweet potato into one-inch pieces. Arrange cauliflower, sweet potatoes and bell pepper on baking sheets. You will likely need 4 baking sheets or will need to roast the veggies in batches. Drizzle all veggies with olive oil, sprinkle with salt + pepper and bake for 20-25 minutes. Cauliflower should be tender with golden brown edges. Sweet potatoes and bell pepper should be tender, cook longer if necessary.
  5. Divide rice evenly amongst 4 bowls. Top each bowl with veggies, pesto and crushed red pepper. Lastly, sprinkle with parsley, if using.
