Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes, 2 carrots peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces, 1 medium parsnip peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces, and 1 small red onion, cut into wedges, with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and golden at edges, stirring once halfway.
  2. Step 2: While vegetables roast, whisk together 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp water, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled, with roasted vegetables, then drizzle with tahini dressing and toss gently until evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle with 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, and 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped, and serve at room temperature.
