Ingredients
- 1 Pound Sweet Potato diced
- 1 Teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil optional
- 2 Medium Shallots or 1 Small Yellow Onion small diced
- 3 Cloves Garlic minced
- 4 Cups Vegetable Broth
- 1 Pound Orzo uncooked
- ¼ Cup Vegan Parmesan grated, optional
- 2 Teaspoons Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Sage
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Thyme Leaves
- ½ Teaspoon Pepper
- 3 Cups Fresh Spinach
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉.
- In an oven-safe pan, sauté the sweet potato for 7-10 minutes. If using a non-stick you can sauté without oil - this is really just to get the potatoes soft.
- Add the garlic and shallot and cook another 2 minutes.
- Add the orzo, parmesan, spices, and broth to the pan and stir.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the orzo is soft.
- Remove from the oven and add the spinach. Toss well and allow it to wilt. Serve.
