Sweet Potato & Cauliflower Rice Bowl

EatingWell.com
In this riff on a healthy grain bowl recipe, we use cauliflower rice instead of another whole grain like brown rice to cut back on carbs and load up on veggie servings. A simple citrusy drizzle, inspired by Cuban mojo sauce, finishes these vegan rice bowls, perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients 

  • 1 Sweet Potato Medium, peeled if desired, sliced ¼ inch thick
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil Divided
  • ½ tsp Salt Divided
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper Divided
  • ¼ cup Orange Juice
  • 2 Tbsp Lime Juice
  • ½ cup Cilantro Chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • ½ tsp Cumin
  • ½ tsp Oregano
  • 5 cups Cauliflower
  • 15 ounces Black Beans Rinsed
  • 1 Avocado Sliced
  • ½ cup Pico

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Stovetop
  • Medium Mixing Bowl
  • Large Skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • Small Mixing Bowl

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Toss sweet potato in a medium bowl with 2 teaspoons oil, a pinch of salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet. Roast until tender, 10 to 14 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine orange juice, lime juice, ¼ cup cilantro, 1 minced garlic clove, cumin, oregano and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  • Pulse cauliflower florets in two batches in a food processor until chopped into rice-size pieces. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower rice, the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ¼ cup cilantro.
  • To serve, divide the cauliflower among 4 bowls. Top with the sweet potato, black beans, avocado and pico de gallo. Drizzle each portion with the mojo sauce.
