Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 1 cup cubed sweet potato and 1 cup broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp paprika; spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup rinsed quinoa and 2 cups water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp honey, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork, then combine with the roasted vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle with the miso dressing and toss gently until evenly coated.
