Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa – for a complete plant protein base
- 1 can black beans (15 oz), drained and rinsed
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas), toasted
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Equipment
- Medium saucepan – for cooking quinoa
- Baking sheet – to roast sweet potatoes
- Skillet or sauté pan – for sautéing vegetables
- Mixing bowl – to combine ingredients
- Sharp knife – for chopping
- Cutting board
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula or wooden spoon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, rinse the quinoa under cold water. Combine quinoa with 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red onion, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the diced red bell pepper and kale to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until the kale wilts and peppers soften. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and black beans. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and toss gently to combine.
- Add chopped cilantro, cherry tomatoes, and pumpkin seeds for added freshness and crunch. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve the bowl topped with sliced avocado if desired, for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
