Ingredients
- 2 medium parsnips, peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp + 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
- 1 cup long-grain brown Basmati rice
- 2 cups + 2 Tablespoons low-sodium vegetable broth, divided
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
- 3 heaping tbsp blanched almond slices, crumbled
- Black pepper, to taste
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° Fahrenheit.
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking oil spray; place parsnip cubes on tray. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil, as well as salt and black pepper to taste.
- Cook for 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Let cool; meanwhile, cook rice according to package directions, using 1 ½ cups vegetable broth and 2 teaspoons olive oil.
- While rice is cooking, sauté onion in ½ cup vegetable broth, over medium-high heat; stir occasionally.
