Sweet potato is super good for you! It contains high amounts of vitamin A which helps with supporting a healthy immune system and healthy vision. Additionally, sweet potatoes are high in fiber, antioxidants and other vitamins and minerals that assist with promotes a healthier gut. Overall, sweet potatoes are good for you, easy to add into recipes, and taste great too! Now that you know a little more about sweet potatoes, let’s make this recipe!
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine dressing ingredients and set aside *See Tip 1
- Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Dice up vegetables into small bite sized pieces. On 1 baking sheet, place chopped cauliflower and sweet potatoes (they cook in about similar time), add on 3 tbsp oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning, and 1.5 tsp Mrs Dash. Bake for ~20 minutes, or until sweet potato and cauliflower is soft.
- On a separate baking sheet, add remaining vegetables (mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini and pepper) with remaining oil and spices and bake for ~10-15 minutes or until browned and soft.
- Scoop quinoa and cooked vegetables into a bowl and enjoy! Top with mozzarella or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor! *See Tip 2
Tips:
- If you don’t like spice, don’t add the full amount of the red pepper flakes into the dressing. Also, for 1 serving of this dish, I used 1-2 tbsp of sauce so it wouldn’t be too oily and spicy. The dressing can be made and stored in the fridge, it does not need to be consumed in one sitting. The dish is good without dressing too if you prefer it that way!
- If you’re looking to make this meal extra nutritious, add in 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast. Not only does it have a high source of vitamins not always present in our diets (Vitamin B-12 and B6), but it also provides a natural cheesy flavor to enhance the flavor of foods! I highly recommend this, I eat it all the time.
