Dressing
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- Set the oven to 375F.
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let simmer until the liquid is reduced by half and the dressing coats the back of a spoon.
- Cook the rice according to the package directions. Put it in a large bowl to cool.
- Toss the sweet potatoes in a little olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread out on a baking sheet.
- Do the same with the brussel sprouts on another sheet and roast for about 15 minutes or until just tender and starting to caramelize. The brussel sprouts may take longer.
- Toss the rice with a small amount of dressing to moisten. Add the rest of the ingredients and toss with the rest of your desired amount of dressing.
- Top with cheese and add salt and pepper to taste.
