How to Prepare Roasted Sweet Potato & Quinoa Salad [Vegan]
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (210°C). Next, prepare a substantial baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Combine sweet potato cubes in a mixing bowl with a light drizzle of oil, then sprinkle with paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to taste, tossing to coat evenly. On the baking sheet, place the item and roast it in the oven at 15 minutes, then flip it over and continue roasting for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until it reaches a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, prepare the tahini dressing by combining all ingredients in a compact food processor or, if preferred, use a sturdy fork for a manual mixing approach.
- Gradually add a tablespoon of water at a time, adjusting the mixture until you achieve the desired consistency, before seasoning to taste.
- Combine the cooked quinoa with a medley of fresh greens, including baby spinach, peppery rocket, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley, then add creamy diced avocado, juicy pomegranate seeds, and roasted sweet potato for a nutritious and flavorful salad. Savoring each bite, serve this delectable dish warm or chilled, perfectly complemented by the rich, nutty flavor of a drizzle-worthy tahini dressing.
