Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups (470 ml) vegetable broth (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/4 tsp dried)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 15-ounce cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed; about 2 3/4 cups (510 g)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 2 cups / 340 g)
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (180 g) uncooked brown rice*
  • Optional: Tahini Dressing, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Whisk the vegetable broth, rosemary, thyme, paprika, and black pepper together in a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. While the liquid is heating up, spread the chickpeas, sweet potato, onion, and garlic evenly across a 9×13″ pan or casserole dish. Use a spoon to mix everything together until it is evenly distributed, then sprinkle the brown rice on top.
  3. Remove the vegetable broth from the heat once it comes to a boil and pour evenly over the casserole dish. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil (or parchment paper, followed by aluminum foil) and bake in the middle rack of the oven for 60 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and top with Tahini Sauce, or as desired. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to one month.

Notes

  • Rice: this recipe will work with both long-grain and short grain brown rice. If you would like to use white rice, reduce the oven temperature to 375F and cook for only 45 minutes.
  • Other Substitutions: sweet potato can be swapped for any other fall squash, like butternut, kabocha, or pumpkin. The garbanzo beans can also be swapped with your favorite bean of choice!
