Okay… fall is officially here… 🍂🍁
One of my favorite things about cooking with mushrooms is how much texture and savory flavor they bring to plant-based dishes. They also add some plant-based protein, making them such an easy ingredient to work into everyday meals.
🍄🟫 Mushroom + Sweet Potato Rotini Salad
For the salad:
• Rotini pasta
• Cucumber
• any type of mushrooms
• Sweet potato (roasted with olive oil + a little maple syrup — details below)
For the dressing:
• Sesame oil
• Rice vinegar
• Soy sauce
• Sriracha (optional)
• Sesame seeds
• Black pepper
🍠 For the sweet potato:
Cut into small cubes and pan-roast with a little olive oil until golden and tender. Right at the end, add a small drizzle of maple syrup and toss until lightly caramelized.
🍄🟫 Sauté the mushrooms until nicely browned, then toss everything together with the rotini, cucumber, and roasted sweet potato.
Add sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and Sriracha to taste, then finish with sesame seeds and black pepper.
Simple, cozy, completely vegan, and a really easy way to get more mushrooms onto the plate.
Save this one for your fall recipe list 🍁🧡
