Print Recipe

A nourishing, vibrant, and hearty winter bowl filled with seasonal roasted vegetables, grains, and flavorful spices, perfect for clean eating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 sweet potato, diced
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup kale, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • Optional: 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • Optional: 1 avocado, sliced
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon tahini

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Rinse and prepare all vegetables. Dice the sweet potato, halve the Brussels sprouts, and slice the red bell pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, and red bell pepper with olive oil, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
  5. While the vegetables are roasting, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and all liquid is absorbed.
  6. In a separate skillet, lightly sauté the chopped kale over medium heat with a splash of olive oil until just wilted.
  7. Once the roasted vegetables are ready, assemble the bowls. Start with a base of quinoa, then add the roasted vegetables and sautéed kale.
  8. Top each bowl with optional add-ins like pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and avocado slices.
  9. Drizzle with a dressing made from lemon juice and tahini for a creamy finish.

Notes

To deepen flavor, toast quinoa before cooking. Don’t overcrowd vegetables when roasting to keep them crisp. Always rinse quinoa well to avoid bitterness.
