Ingredients:

  • 150g sweet potato, cubed
  • 150g cauliflower florets
  • 110g red onion, cut into wedges
  • 30ml olive oil
  • 3g garlic powder
  • 3g dried oregano
  • 3g sea salt
  • 1g black pepper
  • 170g uncooked quinoa, rinsed
  • 480ml water
  • 1g salt
  • 45g tahini
  • 15ml lemon juice
  • 5ml maple syrup
  • 3g garlic, minced
  • 30ml warm water

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potato, cauliflower, and red onion with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the vegetables onto a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they aren't touching to prevent steaming.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the edges are mahogany-colored and the vegetables are fork-tender.
  5. Combine rinsed quinoa, water or vegetable broth, and salt in a saucepan.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  8. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and minced garlic.
  9. Slowly whisk in warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches a velvety, pourable consistency.
  10. Divide the fluffy quinoa into bowls, top with roasted vegetables, and drizzle with the tahini dressing.
