Print Recipe

A cozy, colorful, and nutrient-packed vegan nourish bowl with turmeric-roasted vegetables, quinoa, and creamy tahini dressing perfect for the colder months.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 cup kale, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  • Optional: 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • Optional: 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse and drain the quinoa. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  3. Peel and cube the sweet potato, halve the Brussels sprouts, and chop the kale. Set aside.
  4. Toss the sweet potato cubes and Brussels sprouts in olive oil, turmeric, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
  6. In the last 5 minutes of roasting, add the chopped kale to the baking sheet and allow it to wilt slightly.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and maple syrup to create a creamy dressing.
  8. Assemble the nourish bowl by placing a portion of quinoa at the base, followed by roasted vegetables, kale, and optional add-ins like pomegranate seeds and pumpkin seeds.
  9. Drizzle with the tahini dressing and top with sliced avocado.

Notes

Rinse quinoa well to remove bitterness. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure proper roasting, not steaming. Store components separately for best freshness.
