Roasted Root Veggies & Wild Rice Pilaf with Lemon Caper Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 cup Wild Rice
- 1 pound Brussels Sprouts trimmed & halved
- 2 pieces Sweet Potatoes peeled & cubed
- ¼ cup Pumpkin Seeds
- 1 piece Shallot minced
- 1 piece Lemon zested
- 3 tablespoons Vegan Butter
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 2 tablespoons Parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook rice according to package directions. I used my instant pot rice to water ratio 1:1 for 23 minutes with natural release.
- Toss Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes with 2 Tbsp olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 20 minutes or until browned.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, toast pepitas until browned, shaking pan to prevent burning, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Return the skillet to medium heat with 1 tsp olive oil. Sauté shallot until softened, approximately minutes.
- Add the vegan butter and capers, and stir until the butter has melted. Stir in juice from half the lemon, lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and then remove from the heat.
- Add roasted vegetables, lemon butter sauce and chopped parsley to rice. Toss gently to combine. Serve topped with toasted pepitas.
