Frequently Asked Questions
How many people does this recipe serve?
This recipe makes about 3 to 4 servings. If you need more, double the ingredients. For smaller portions cut the amounts in half.
Can I swap the wild rice for another grain?
Yes. Use quinoa, brown rice, farro, or barley. Adjust liquid and cooking time to match the grain. Quinoa cooks faster, so check it after 15 minutes.
How do I get the roasted vegetables crispy and caramelized?
Dry the veggies, cut them evenly, coat with oil, and spread in a single layer without crowding. Roast at 400 to 425°F and toss once halfway through.
Can I make this ahead and how long will it keep?
Yes. Store cooked rice and roasted veggies in separate airtight containers in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Keep the tahini dressing in its own jar for up to 7 days.
How can I thin or change the tahini dressing?
Thin the dressing with a tablespoon or two of water, lemon juice, or extra apple cider vinegar until you reach the desired consistency. For a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter or plain yogurt if you are not vegan.
What are good protein add-ins?
Try roasted chickpeas, crispy tofu, tempeh, grilled chicken, or baked salmon. Season and cook them separately, then add on top of the bowls when serving.
Any tips for cooking wild rice faster?
Soak wild rice for 1 to 2 hours before cooking to shorten the simmer time. Use a pressure cooker for faster results, about 20 to 25 minutes under high pressure.
Is this recipe vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, as written the bowl is vegan and gluten-free if you use vegetable broth and confirm your House Blend seasoning and tahini are gluten-free. Swap broths carefully if needed.
