Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked quinoa – a great gluten-free grain base
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Equipment
- Medium saucepan for cooking quinoa
- Baking sheet for roasting sweet potatoes
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Mixing bowl
- Knife and cutting board
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Wooden spoon or spatula
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, cook the quinoa. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water and place it in a medium saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then 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 olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the chickpeas, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld, stirring frequently.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Combine the cooked quinoa and roasted sweet potatoes with the skillet mixture. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss everything together. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips & Variations
To save time, cook quinoa and roast sweet potatoes in advance and store them in the fridge.
- Swap quinoa for brown rice or millet if preferred or if quinoa is unavailable.
- Add more veggies like zucchini or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce.
- Use fresh herbs like cilantro or basil instead of parsley for a different flavor profile.
- Make it a salad: Let everything cool and toss with a simple vinaigrette for a refreshing cold dish.
