Ingredients
- 3 cups cubed beets approx. 1 pound (cut into half-inch cubes)
- 3 cups cubed sweet potato approx. 1 pound (cut into half-inch cubes)
- ½ cup basmati rice rinsed
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 6 cups baby spinach approx. 5-ounce package
- 1.5 cups white cannellini beans approx. 15-ounce can, drained + rinsed
- ½ cup pecan halves
- ¼ cup dried cranberries or pomegranate
For the Dressing
- ¼ cup Tahini
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- salt + pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉/218℃ convection roast and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange your peeled beet and sweet potato cubes in a single layer on your tray and sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper. Roast them for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cubes are fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, add your rice and vegetable broth to a small saucepot and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer until it's cooked, and the liquid is mostly absorbed. Fluff it up with a fork and set it aside to cool slightly.
- Add all the salad dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- When the roasted vegetables and rice are ready, add them, along with all the remaining salad ingredients to a mixing bowl. Then pour in the salad dressing and mix well until evenly coated. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust if needed.
Notes
- Keep leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
- Cut the beet and sweet potato cubes as uniformly as possible for even cooking.
- To save prep time, you may use pre-cubed sweet potatoes and beets.
- If you don’t have a convection oven, roast the vegetables a little longer, until they are fork-tender and the edges are golden brown.
