Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa (rinsed)

2 cups vegetable broth (or water)

1 cup sweet potatoes (peeled and diced)

1 cup Brussels sprouts (halved)

1 red bell pepper (diced)

1 zucchini (sliced)

1 cup kale (torn into bite-size pieces)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 avocado (sliced)

½ cup chickpeas (cooked, canned or roasted)

¼ cup tahini dressing (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Roast Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, red bell pepper, and zucchini with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

      Bake: Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

        Sauté Kale: In a small skillet, add a splash of water or a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the kale and sauté for about 3-5 minutes, just until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

          Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, add a generous scoop of quinoa as the base. Top with roasted vegetables, sautéed kale, sliced avocado, and chickpeas.

            Drizzle Dressing: Finally, drizzle tahini dressing over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.

              Serve & Enjoy: Enjoy your Harvest Veggie Quinoa Power Bowl warm or at room temperature!
