The “three sisters” this dish refers to are corn, squash, and beans. In a technique originating from Northeastern Native American tribes, the three crops are planted together so the corn stalk provides support for the climbing bean plant, while the squash spreads horizontally to cover and protect the soil. The “sisters” also complement each other nutritionally, offering complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and a host of phytonutrients in every bite.

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 425°F

2

Toss the butternut squash and corn with 1 Tbsp olive oil, salt, and chili powder. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes, until the squash is tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork.

3

As the veggies roast, combine rice, water, and 1 tsp of olive oil in the Cooking Pot. Close the lid, and select the BROWN RICE setting.

4

Once the rice has finished cooking, combine with the cooked squash and corn in a large bowl. Add black beans, lime juice, and the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil and toss to combine.

Warning icon indicating caution

NEVER use the nutribullet Cup to blend hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients.
DO NOT blend for more than one minute when using the nutribullet Cup.

Blending hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients in a nutribullet Cup may result in over-pressurization, causing the Cup to forcefully separate when removed from the Motor Base or upon opening, which may expel hot contents and/or exposure to the blades, both of which may cause serious bodily injuries.
