Instructions

Wild Rice

  • Place wild rice and water into a large sauce pan. Turn burner to medium/high heat and bring to a boil.
  • Cover and turn heat down to low and let simmer for 50 minutes or until it reaches the desired texture.
  • Strain water from wild rice and set rice aside.

Brussels Sprouts

  • While the wild rice is simmering, preheat oven to 375ºF. Place all ingredients onto a baking sheet and mix together until the Brussels sprouts are covered in olive oil and spices.
  • Roast at 375ºF for 25 minutes.
  • Remove and set aside.

Butternut Squash

  • Turn the Instant Pot's saute feature on and add olive oil.
  • When the olive oil is fragrant, add cubed butternut squash and season with salt and pepper. Saute in the Instant Pot for around 6 minutes or until the butternut squash begins to brown.
  • Remove butternut squash from the Instant Pot and place it into a small microwave-safe bowl that will fit in the Instant Pot.
  • Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot and place the trivet onto the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Next, place the glass bowl full of butternut squash on top of the trivet. Cover the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 1 minute.
  • Remove from the Instant Pot and set aside.

Kale + Apple Slaw

  • Place all ingredients for the apple kale slaw into a large bowl and mix until all ingredients are combined. Set aside.

Tahini Dressing

  • Prepare the dressing by placing all of the ingredients for the tahini dressing into a mason jar. Tightly cover the jar and shake it until all the ingredients are combined.

Harvest Bowl

  • Assemble the harvest bowls by evenly distributing the wild rice, brussels sprouts, butternut squash, slaw, and tahini dressing into four separate bowls or meal prep containers.*
