Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 2 cups Broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small Cucumber, diced
- 1 large Carrot, shredded
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 large Lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer.
In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the diced sweet potato on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli florets for 3-5 minutes until bright green and tender but still crisp. Remove from the steamer and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the yogurt lime dressing by whisking together Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among 4 serving bowls as the base.
Top each bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and shredded carrot.
Drizzle the yogurt lime dressing over the vegetables in each bowl.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
