Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 15-ounce can Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 4 cups Curly kale, de-stemmed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, rinse the quinoa under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Once cooked, fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chickpeas and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until slightly golden and heated through. Remove from heat.
Place the chopped kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and massage the kale for 1–2 minutes to soften it and reduce bitterness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, water, maple syrup, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add an additional tablespoon of water if a thinner consistency is desired.
To assemble, divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Layer with roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed chickpeas, massaged kale, apple slices, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with the tahini dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Vegan Sweetgreen Harvest Bowl!
