Ingredients
-
3 pounds sweet potatoes, diced
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 tablespoon maple syrup
-
Pinch of salt
-
Pinch of black pepper
-
4 cups kale, chopped
-
4 cloves garlic, diced
-
2 tablespoons water
-
1 onion, diced
-
1 teaspoon olive oil
-
4 cups cooked quinoa
-
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
-
1/4 cup vegan feta
-
1/4 cup craisins
-
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

1/4 cup scallions, sliced
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
-
Spread sweet potatoes evenly on the sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.
-
In a pan over medium heat, add diced garlic, chopped kale, and water. Stir and steam for about 2 minutes, until kale is just wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
In another pan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent.
-
Stir in the cooked quinoa and cook for 2 minutes to warm through.
-
Assemble bowls by layering quinoa, kale, and roasted sweet potatoes.
-
Top with pumpkin seeds, craisins, vegan feta, scallions, and finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Notes
Flip sweet potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning.
Do not overcook the kale to keep its color and texture vibrant.
Soak craisins in warm water for a few minutes if you prefer them plumper.
Serve warm or chilled depending on preference.
