Autumn Grain Bowls

Ingredients

• 1 package of Parmesan couscous mix

• 2 heads of broccoli, or 1 bag of broccoli florets

• 1 package of apple chicken sausages

• 2 sweet potatoes

• 2 yellow potatoes

• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for dairy-free)

• Olive oil

• Salt & pepper

• Seasoning blends of choice (I used Trader Joe’s Green Goddess and 21 Seasoning Salute)

1. Bake the Potatoes

   • Preheat the oven to 425°F.

   • Wash the regular potatoes and cut them into cubes. Place the cubes in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch while you prepare the sweet potatoes.

   • Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Drain and rinse the regular potatoes.

   • Combine both types of potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and your choice of seasonings (I used Trader Joe’s Green Goddess and smoked paprika).

   • Spread the potatoes evenly on a sheet pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

2. Cook the Broccoli

   • While the potatoes are baking, chop the broccoli into medium-sized florets.

   • Arrange the florets on a separate baking tray and spray with olive oil or avocado oil. Season with salt, pepper, and your preferred seasoning blend (I usedTrader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute).

   • Place the broccoli in the oven for the final 10 minutes of the potato cooking time.

3. Cook the Sausages: Slice the apple chicken sausages into coins. Air fry at 370°F for 6-8 minutes, until golden brown.

4. Cook the Couscous: Prepare the Parmesan couscous on the stovetop according to the package instructions.

5. Assemble the Bowls: Use the couscous as the base. Layer on the roasted broccoli, mixed potatoes, and apple chicken sausages. Top with grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
