Roasted Pumpkin And Sweet Potato Pilau

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°.

Arrange pumpkin and sweet potato in an even layer on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 400° for 35 minutes or until tender and just until vegetables begin to brown, stirring after 18 minutes.

Remove from oven, and set aside.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add onion, celery, and garlic to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until onion is tender.

Add broth and remaining ingredients to onion mixture, stirring to combine; bring to a boil.

Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 50 minutes or until rice is done and liquid is mostly absorbed.

Remove from heat; discard bay leaf.

Add pumpkin mixture; stir gently to combine.
