Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups uncooked quinoa
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & cubed
  • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 bunches kale, stems removed, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups cooked chickpeas
  • 1 cup dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds
  • 1 cup roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • ½ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2–4 tbsp warm water
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  3. In a saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork once done.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, add remaining olive oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped kale and cook until wilted, about 3–4 minutes. Season lightly with salt.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, salt, and enough warm water until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Layer quinoa in bowls and top with roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed kale, chickpeas, cranberries, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle generously with your homemade dressing before serving.
