Ingredients

• 1 cup Quinoa
• 2 cups Water
• 3 cups Kale, chopped
• 1 medium Sweet potato, diced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 cup Cucumber, diced
• 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Water (to thin dressing)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water and add it to a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the diced sweet potato on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Toss to coat evenly, then roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.

Step 3

While the sweet potato is roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped kale and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly wilted. Set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the tahini dressing by whisking together 3 tablespoons of tahini, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of maple syrup (optional), 1 minced garlic clove, and 2 tablespoons of water. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.

Step 5

To assemble the power bowl, start with a base of cooked quinoa. Layer on the roasted sweet potato, sautéed kale, diced cucumber, chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado.

Step 6

Drizzle the tahini dressing over the bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy your vibrant, soy-free power bowl!
