Veggie Nourish Bowls

with Olives & Herby Tahini

Millet is a gluten-free, protein-rich grain with a mild, corn-like flavor. We toast millet before braising it to accentuate its nutty notes and top it with roasted sweet potato and green beans. Herby tahini and buttery Sicilian olives round out this nourishing, high-protein grain bowl.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the millet

Preheat oven to 425°F. Toast millet in small saucepan over medium heat until fragrant and beginning to pop, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed and grains are tender, 17 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside, covered.

2
Roast the veggies

Meanwhile, combine sweet potato, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on baking sheet and toss. Roast until browned and crispy in places, 25 to 30 minutes. Push potato to one side of baking sheet. To other side, add green beans, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until green beans are charred in places and just tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

3
Prepare the herby tahini

Whisk together tahini, just half the lemon juice, just 1 tsp garlic, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp warm water, and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl. (TIP: If dressing is too thick, whisk in 1 tbsp warm water at a time.)

4
Marinate the tomatoes

Stir together olives, remaining lemon juice, remaining garlic, tomatoes, basil, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp water, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

5
Serve

Spread herby tahini in bowls. Top with millet, roasted veggies, and marinated tomatoes. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds. Dig in!
