Roasted Sweet Potato, Red Pepper, Kale Bowls with Tahini Sauce

This Veggie Bowl Recipe is super delicious! I have made this Tahini Sauce with an earlier recipe that I posted - Broccoli Tahini. I was eager to make this sauce again, so I thought it would be tasty to pair it with this Veggie Bowl Recipe. I was right – this Tahini Sauce is amazing with it! The Tahini Sauce really compliments the roasted Sweet Potatoes – I think they were meant to be together! I will absolutely make this Veggie Bowl Recipe a lot more in the future!

Ingredients

Roasting Pan Ingredients:

  • 2 small sweet potatoes cut in ½ inch cubes
  • 1 small red onion cut into thick strips
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into thick strips and halved
  • ½ teas salt
  • ½ teas pepper
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 2 cups of Kale
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • ½ cup quinoa cooked

Tahini Ingredients:

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Handful of cilantro leaves
  • 1/3 cup tahini sesame paste
  • ½ cup water
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • ¾ teas cumin
  • ½ teas salt

Instructions

Veggie Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, mix together sweet potatoes, red onions, pepper, salt, black pepper and olive oil.
  3. Spread out contents of mixing bowl onto a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
  4. You can start to cook your quinoa at this time if you haven’t yet made it.
  5. Remove from oven and flip / toss around and check if sweet potatoes are mostly cooked through with a fork (if fork can go into sweet potatoes easy) (if not roast for 5 roast for 5 minutes).
  6. When sweet potatoes are mostly cooked (fork goes into easy), then add kale to baking sheet and roast for 5 more minutes (until kale is slightly crispy – keep monitoring the kale if you cook for longer – you don’t want to burn the kale).
  7. When your vegetables are roasting, you can make your Tahini Sauce (see Tahini Sauce Directions below).
  8. When your veggies are done, assemble your bowls (this makes 2) by placing quinoa on the bottom, then top with veggies, and drizzle tahini sauce on top. You can also serve the tahini sauce on the side and you can dip / drizzle as you eat.

Tahini Sauce Directions:

  1. In a food processor, chop garlic and cilantro.
  2. Then add all remaining ingredients until well combined.
