Hoisin-Sesame Roasted Veggie Bowls

Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and 1 TBSP ginger (2 TBSP for 4); cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss sweet potato and mushrooms with a drizzle of oil, half the hoisin (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. Spread out on one side of a baking sheet. Toss bell pepper on empty side with a drizzle of oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until just tender, 15 minutes (they’ll finish cooking in step 5). (For 4 servings, use 2 sheets; roast sweet potatoes and mushrooms on top rack and bell peppers on middle rack.)

While veggies roast, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, soy sauce, and as much sriracha as you like. TIP: Start with half the sriracha, then taste and add more from there if you like things spicy.

Once veggies have roasted 15 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven. (For 4 servings, remove sheet with sweet potatoes and mushrooms; leave bell peppers in the oven.) Using a spatula, toss sweet potato and mushrooms with remaining hoisin and half the sesame seeds (save the rest for serving). Return to oven until veggies are tender and glaze is tacky, 5-8 minutes more.
