Ingredients

For the Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes (sliced in half)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Zucchini

  • 2 zuchinni (cut into rounds)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Quinoa

  • 1 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa (rinsed)
  • 3 cups cooking liquid (vegetable broth or water*)
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Chickpeas

  • 15 oz chickpeas (canned, rinsed and drains)
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)

For the Kale

  • 2 cups kale (stems removed)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • pinch of salt

For the Lemon Tahini Sauce

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1-2 tbsp water
  • pinch of salt

For topping

  • 2 avocados

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Toss sweet potatoes in coconut oil, salt and pepper. Place flesh side down on a baking sheet. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping half way through (FYI: we will be adding the zuchhini in at the 10 minute mark).
  • While the sweet potatoes are baking, combine quinoa, salt and cooking liquid (water or broth) to a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover with a lid and bring down to a simmer. Allow to cook for 20 minutes.
  • Toss zucchini in coconut oil, salt and pepper. Once the sweet potatoes are at the 10 minute mark, add them to the baking sheet in a single layer and cook for about 15 minutes, flipping half way through.
  • While the quinoa, sweet potatoes and zucchini are cooking, get the chickpeas started. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet. Add chickpeas, curry powder, cumin and salt. Cook until chickpeas are a little crispy, about 10 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally. Remove chickpeas from pan.
  • Add more coconut oil to the skillet and the kale, minced garlic and salt. Stir until the kale wilts, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Somewhere in that time (probably while the chickpeas are cooking), make the tahini lemon sauce. Add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt to a food processor. You can also do this in a bowl with a whisk if you don't mind small bits of garlic in your sauce. Process until combined and smooth. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water until you reach a thin consistency that will be able to be drizzled over bowl.
  • To assemble, add quinoa to bottom of the bowl. Then layer with sweet potatoes, zucchini, chickpeas, kale and avocado. Drizzle with lemon tahini sauce. Serve while everything is still warm.
