Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine 1 cup rinsed quinoa and 2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Toss 1 cup diced sweet potato, 1 cup diced red bell pepper, and 1 cup broccoli florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet at 400°F for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Step 3: Whisk together 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tbsp tahini, 1 minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork. In a large bowl, combine the roasted vegetables, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and quinoa. Drizzle with the lemon-tahini dressing and toss gently. Top with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
