Instructions

Step 1
Place all Level 1 ingredients in the pot and stir to combine.

Step 2
Pull out the legs on the Crisper Tray, then place the tray in the elevated position in the pot.

Step 3
Add all Level 2 ingredients to a large bowl and mix to combine, ensuring sweet potatoes are evenly coated in oil and seasoning.

Step 4
Place sweet potatoes on the crisper tray in the elevated position and close the lid.

Step 5
Close the lid and flip the SmartSwitch™ to Rapid Cooker. Select SPEEDI MEALS, set temperature to 350°F, and set time to 13 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (the unit will steam for approximately 10 minutes before crisping).

Step 6
Meanwhile, prepare dressing by adding all dressing ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 7
When cooking is complete, transfer sweet potatoes to a plate. Then use silicone-tipped tongs to grab tray’s center handle and remove it from the unit. Stir bean and rice mixture. Assemble salads by platting arugula on a dish, then top with sweet potatoes, dressing, scallions, and cilantro.
