A nutritious and hearty winter harvest dinner bowl filled with roasted vegetables and topped with a creamy tahini dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup quinoa (or brown rice)
- 2 cups vegetable broth (or water)
- 1 medium sweet potato (diced)
- 1 cup Brussels sprouts (halved)
- 1 cup carrots (sliced)
- 1 cup kale (chopped)
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (for topping)
- 1/4 cup walnuts (chopped, toasted)

- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1–2 tablespoons water (to thin, as needed)

Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
- In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potato, halved Brussels sprouts, and sliced carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, layer the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, and chopped kale. Toss gently to combine.
- Drizzle the tahini dressing over the top, then sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and toasted walnuts. Serve warm.
