Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup water

  • ¾ cup uncooked regular brown rice

  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 1.5 pound butternut squash, halved, seeded, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch slices

  • 1 lime, halved

  • 1 15 ounce can black beans, undrained

  • Toppers, such as avocado, fresh salsa, queso fresco, and/or fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan bring the water to boiling. Stir in rice. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 40 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl combine cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. In a large bowl combine oil, salt, and 1 1/2 tsp. of the spice mixture. Add squash; toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast 20 minutes or until tender, turning once.

  3. Squeeze 1 Tbsp. juice from one of the lime halves. Cut remaining lime half into wedges; set aside. Drain beans, reserving 3 Tbsp. of the liquid. In a medium bowl combine beans, reserved liquid, and remaining spice mixture. Microwave, covered, 2 minutes. Stir in lime juice.

  4. Divide rice among shallow bowls. Top with squash, beans, and desired toppers. Serve with reserved lime wedges.
