Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Dice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes, toss with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp cumin. Roast for 25 minutes until tender and golden.
  2. Step 2: Rinse quinoa under cold water, then combine with 3/4 cup water and 1/4 tsp salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed.
  3. Step 3: Whisk together tahini, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 garlic clove (minced), 1/4 tsp cumin, and 2 tbsp water until smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Slice cucumber into thin half-moons, halve cherry tomatoes, and dice avocado. Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Assemble bowls by layering quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado. Drizzle with tahini dressing and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
