Cannabis Eggplant, Rice, and Okra Bowl | Dinner Edibles Recipe

I wish life were all brownies, cookies, and tall, cold glasses of fruit punch, but I am pretty sure I would take 30 years off my lifespan if I lived that way. What I really love about this recipe is the warm, earthy combination of cannabis, roasted eggplant, okra, and brown rice.

This recipe relies on high-heat roasting rather than oil-based cooking for the eggplant, which gives it a beautiful caramelization that deepens the flavor profile of the whole meal. Whether you eat plant-based or include meat in your diet, this nutrition-packed dish is a wonderful way to bring people together. By following these Stoner Strategies, you can create a wholesome, homemade meal that is perfect for meal planning. This edibles recipe is a great option to keep your freezer stocked with nutritious, reheat-ready meals for those days when you are tired or just need a comforting, healthy option.

Recipe Essentials

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Cook Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

• Serves: 2

• Skill Level: Intermediate

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Oil (for roasting)

• 1 Eggplant, diced into one-inch cubes

• 2 cups Brown rice, cooked

• 2 tbsp Canna-oil

• 1 cup Okra, sliced

• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Roast: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). In a medium bowl, combine the diced eggplant with the oil. Toss to coat and season with salt and pepper.

2. Bake: Evenly spread the eggplant out on a sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven, and flip the pieces. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the eggplant is tender and caramelized.

3. Sauté: In a large skillet or wok over medium-low heat, warm the canna-oil. Add the okra and toss to coat.

4. Combine: Add the cooked brown rice and the roasted eggplant to the pan. Mix well and cook for about 8–12 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the flavors have blended together.

5. Serve: Enjoy your cannabis edibles immediately or portion them out for future meals.

Pro-Tips for Success

• The Stoner Strategies Secret: Meal prep is essential. You can start working toward keeping your freezer full of these homemade TV dinners. Just make sure to keep them away from children and properly label all cannabis edibles with the date they were made, the date packaged, the milligram content, the cannabis strain used, and a clear notice that the package contains cannabis and is not for children.

• Flavor Variations: I only wish I had added some red or yellow peppers when I was preparing this recipe; I can only imagine how beautifully fragrant this would be with those ingredients on hand. Feel free to toss them in during the sauté step!

• Potency Management: If you prefer to use a cannabis tincture instead of canna-oil, add the tincture to the recipe after the pan has been removed from the heat and blend well. This preserves the integrity of your edibles recipe.
