Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed About 3 cups
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa About 1/3 cup uncooked yields 1 cup cooked
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach Loosely packed
  • 1/4 cup diced avocado Can be substituted with hummus
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper To taste
Optional Toppings
  • poached egg For extra protein

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
  2. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, a generous pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are golden and the potatoes are fork-tender.
  2. While the potatoes roast, cook the quinoa according to package directions, usually a 2:1 water-to-quinoa ratio simmered for 15 minutes.
Assembly
  1. Divide the warm quinoa between bowls.
  2. Top with the roasted sweet potatoes, fresh spinach, and diced avocado.
  3. Add optional toppings like a poached egg, crumbled feta, or hot sauce. Serve warm.

Notes

Cool leftover bowls to room temperature, then store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving, adding fresh spinach and avocado afterward.
