AUTUMN GOLDEN RICE

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 F. Then in a medium mixing bowl, toss shredded Brussels sprouts, sliced carrots and chopped shallots in olive oil, maple syrup, thyme, salt and pepper. Spread vegetable mixture on baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are slightly caramelized. While vegetables are baking, prepare Ralston Family Farms Golden Rice according to package instructions, substituting part of the water with the chicken broth (You will end up with 3 ¾ cup water and 3 cup chicken broth.) Stir cooked vegetable mixture into cooked rice. Then stir in chopped pecans and dried cranberries. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm & enjoy!
