Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 4 cups Kale
- 1 medium Sweet Potato
- 1 medium Apple (e.g., Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Raw Pumpkin Seeds (unsalted)
- 1 cup Cooked Chicken Breast (shredded, no added salt)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard (low sodium)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the sweet potato and dice it into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of black pepper, then spread the cubes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the sweet potato in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potato is roasting, cook the quinoa. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water, then combine it with 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
Wash and de-stem the kale. Chop it into bite-sized pieces, then massage with 1 teaspoon of olive oil for 1-2 minutes to soften and reduce bitterness.
Core and thinly slice the apple into half-moons. Set aside.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, and a small pinch of black pepper in a small bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, assemble the harvest bowl by combining the massaged kale, cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potato, shredded chicken breast, apple slices, and raw pumpkin seeds.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the bowl and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately, or divide into meal prep containers for later. Enjoy your heart-healthy, low-sodium Sweetgreen Harvest Bowl!
