  • 4 small kohlrabi, sliced in ¼ inch thick rings
  • ½ cup Brussels sprouts, cut in half
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Add all the ingredients for the rice, to a rice cooker or small pot. Turn rice cooker on, or bring pot up to a boil, then lower to a low flame, cover and cook for 20 minutes until done.
  • On the prepared sheet pan, combine the sweet potatoes and kohlrabi with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and a ½ tsp salt. Arrange the veggies so they are all flat on the sheet pan.

  • Return to the oven and roast until the veggies are caramelized, about 10-15 more.
  • To make the sauce. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until completely smooth. If needed, add water to thin the sauce to your preferred consistency.
  • To serve, divide the rice between bowls. Add the sweet potatoes, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, and top with sunny side up egg. Drizzle each bowl with green tahini sauce.
