Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, washed and diced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 10–12 brussels sprouts, rinsed and quartered
- 1 head cauliflower, washed and cut into small florets
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp turmeric
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/4 cup (212g) dry quinoa, rinsed and drained in a mesh sieve
- 2 1/2 cup (591 ml) vegetable broth, or water
- 1 15 oz (425g) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 avocados
- 1 cup (283g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 5 cups baby spinach or other baby greens
- handful of fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 8 oz (227g) tub hummus*
- juice of 1 lime
- salt and pepper to taste
- water, to thin
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F (200C) and line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Toss sweet potatoes with chili powder and olive oil, spreading them onto one sheet.
- Toss brussels sprouts with 1/2 tsp cumin and place on a second baking sheet. Finally, toss cauliflower with the remaining cumin and turmeric and arrange on the third sheet. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
- Combine rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth in a pot, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed, then let steam covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork once done.
- For the sauce, whisk together lime juice and hummus, adding water until it reaches a dressing-like consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- To assemble, place leafy greens as the base in each bowl, then layer on quinoa, roasted vegetables, black beans, and cherry tomatoes. Divide the hummus sauce among bowls. Portion avocados and drizzle with lime juice to prevent browning. Top with cilantro if desired.
