Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Wash and peel the carrots and potato.
- Cut the carrots and potato into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, toss the carrot and potato pieces with 2 tbsp of maple syrup, 2 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tbsp of rosemary, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned carrot and potato pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- While the carrots and potatoes are roasting, wash the brussels sprouts and cut them in half.
- After 25 minutes, add the brussels sprouts to the baking sheet with the carrots and potatoes.
- Toss the vegetables to combine and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender and golden brown.
- While the vegetables are roasting, bring 1.75 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Add the 1 cup of quinoa, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork once cooked.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of sesame butter, the juice of 1 lemon, and 2 tbsp of maple syrup.
- Mix well until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, you can add a little water to reach your desired consistency.
- Divide the cooked quinoa evenly into serving bowls.
- Top each bowl with the roasted vegetables.
- Drizzle the sesame butter dressing generously over the top.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, seeds, or nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious roasted vegetable & quinoa harvest bowls!
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even roasting of vegetables.
- Cut the carrots and potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Toss the vegetables thoroughly in olive oil, maple syrup, rosemary, salt, and pepper before roasting to enhance the flavor.
- Check the vegetables halfway through roasting and give them a stir for even cooking.
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water before cooking to remove its natural bitterness.
- For added flavor, consider cooking the quinoa in vegetable broth instead of water.
- While the vegetables are roasting, whisk together the sesame butter, lemon juice, and additional maple syrup to create a rich and tangy dressing.
- Assemble your bowls by layering the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, and drizzling with the sesame butter dressing.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an extra burst of freshness.
