Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 1 cup chopped rainbow carrots, 1 medium diced sweet potato, and 1/2 cup sliced red onion with 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 minced garlic cloves on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until vegetables are caramelized and tender at the edges.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, cook 3/4 cup rinsed quinoa in 1 1/2 cups water according to package instructions until fluffy, then fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: Whisk together 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp tahini, 1 tsp maple syrup, and 3 tbsp water until smooth and creamy, adding more water if too thick. Stir in 2 tbsp chopped parsley.
  4. Step 4: In a large bowl, combine cooled quinoa, roasted vegetables, and 3 tbsp reserved pan juices. Gently fold in 1/4 cup additional roasted vegetables for visual appeal. Serve immediately.
