Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sized vegetarian sausages, you can see photo above
  • 1 cup uncooked rice, or other grain of choice
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups small broccoli florets
  • 2 cup small diced sweet potato, peeled if desired
  • 1 small red onion, medium diced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, or oil of choice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh herbs for garnish, if desired

BBQ Tahini Sauce

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup water, or more if needed
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or 1 clove fresh minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.  Prepare your rice, or grain of choice.  I used one cup of white rice that I rinsed well and then added to a small saucepan, along with two cups of water.  Place lid on top of the pot and bring water to a simmer.  Immediately turn heat down to the lowest it will go and let rice cook until all the water has been absorbed, or evaporated.  Remove from the heat and let rice sit, with the lid on, for 10 – 15 minutes before fluffing with a fork.  Rice cooking directions may vary with elevation.
  2. Remove casing from plant based sausages (if needed) and then cut them into small rounds. Dice up all your veggies into bite sized pieces.  I like to make the bell peppers and onion and little larger than the sweet potato, because the sweet potato requires a little bit longer of a cook time.  Cutting the sweet potato a little bit smaller helps make up for that extra time.
  3. Add the diced sweet potato, broccoli, bell peppers, onion and sausage to an extra large sheet pan, you want all ingredients to be in a single layer on the sheet pan, so you may have to roast in two batches if your pan is smaller.
  4. Next, add on the oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Use your hands to mix everything together until all ingredients are coated with oil and spices.  Roast sausage and veggies in the oven until completely cooked through and fork tender.  Sausages should brown nicely.  I like my veggies to be very well cooked through when I roast them, so I usually cook them for about 50-60 minutes since there are a lot of ingredients on the sheet pan.  Flip once or twice during the roasting process.
  5. Prepare the BBQ Tahini Sauce while the veggies are roasting.  Add all ingredients to a bowl, or jar, and mix until you have a creamy sauce.  You can add extra water if your sauce is too thick.  Give the sauce a taste and adjust ingredients as needed.
  6. Prepare your bowls.  Add about 3/4 cup cooked rice to each bowl and top with about 1/4 of the roasted veggies and sausage mixture.  Drizzle with desired amount of bbq tahini dressing and top with fresh herbs.  Enjoy!

Notes

Instead of making the full bbq tahini sauce recipe, you can instead just add some prepared bbq sauce to your tahini and mix until combined.  A little extra water may be needed.
