Red Beans and Rice
Clock

Ingredients

  • 1 head broccoli
  • 2 Tbsp vegan olive oil vinaigrette
  • ¼ cup lightly salted, shelled pistachios, chopped
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • ⅛ tsp ground chipotle chile pepper
  • ⅛ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/16 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp vegan butter
  • 2 Tbsp vegan sour cream (or use vegan plain yogurt)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place a baking sheet in oven while preheating.
  2. Cut broccoli lengthwise into ¾-inch-thick slabs. Some pieces will crumble. Brush both sides with vinaigrette; carefully arrange broccoli in a single layer on preheated baking sheet.
  3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until browned and tender, turning once. Sprinkle broccoli with nuts.
  4. Meanwhile, pierce each potato 6 times with a fork. Wrap individually in paper towels, and arrange potatoes in microwave. Stir together chipotle, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
  5. Microwave at HIGH 10 minutes or until potatoes are soft, turning potatoes after 5 minutes. Cool slightly, and cut potatoes in half lengthwise, cutting to but not through other side. Add ½ Tbsp butter to each potato; sprinkle with chipotle mixture.
  6. Fluff potatoes with a fork; top with sour cream.
