Instructions
- Rinse and cook the rice and quinoa to the package directions, once done, set aside.

- Next add all the seasonings, maple syrup, liquid aminos, and chickpea flour, stir until well combined.
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- Prepare a glass 8x9 baking dish with parchment paper, pour the mixture into the baking dish, forming the mixture into what resembles a roast.
- Cover with foil, place into the oven, and bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the foil, and continue baking for a additional 20 to 30 minutes.
- Note: If adding sauteed onion and mushrooms, pour this on the roast before baking the last 20 to 30 minutes.
- Continue baking until the inside temperature of the roast reaches 160° F.
- Once the roast temperature reaches 160° F, remove from the oven and let the roast rest for about 15 to 20 minutes before cutting.
