Author Notes

Roast for 20-25 minutes or until tender in the middle and slightly crispy on the outside.

Meanwhile, cook the basmati rice, wild rice, and quinoa according to package instructions. Place in a fine sieve to drain off any access water. Pour rices and quinoa into a large mixing bowl while warm. Add the roasted sweet potatoes.
