Instructions

1

Roast the Sweet Potatoes

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and caramelized.

2

Cook the Quinoa

While sweet potatoes roast, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until all water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.

3

Make the Tahini Dressing

Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of warm water, a pinch of salt, and a small clove of minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
