Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by cooking the wild rice according to the package instructions, typically boiling it in water for about 40-50 minutes until tender and fluffy.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and chop the sweet potatoes and beets into evenly-sized pieces. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the veggies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. In individual serving bowls, start with a generous layer of the cooked wild rice. Add the roasted sweet potatoes and beets, followed by a handful of fresh kale or your chosen leafy greens.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Garnish with dollops of creamy goat cheese, sprinkle with chopped pistachios, and add a handful of dried cherries to each bowl.
