Sweet Potato Hemp Seed Quinoa Bowls

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time40 minutes
Servings: 4 bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 small sweet potatoes
  • 1 15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil or other high heat oil
  • 2 cups spinach leaves sliced
  • avocado/cheese for topping
  • Cilantro-Lime Dressing
  • 1 cup cilantro finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon green pepper sauce or hot sauce

Instructions

  • Start by preheating the oven to 400°F. Wash and then cut off any gnarly spots on the sweet potato before dicing into 1 inch cubes. Toss with sunflower oil (or any high heat oil) in a baking dish then roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, cook your quinoa by bringing 2 cups water to a boil over medium heat and add the quinoa to it. Once it is boiling, reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes then set aside.
  • While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the dressing by adding all ingredients to a food processor or a small bowl (if you want to chop the cilantro by hand) and mix together.
  • Once potatoes are done, add the hemp seeds to the dish and stir until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seeds.
  • Add the black beans to the dish as well and place back in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Scoop 1/4 of the quinoa mixture into four separate bowls and then top with (spinach if using) and then the roasted sweet potatoes and beans.
  • Pour 1/4 of the dressing onto each and serve with avocado or cheese.
