½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons paprika
salt, to taste

½ cup pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 tablespoons maple syrup, divided

1 bunch kale, stemmed and torn into large pieces
3 cups quinoa
½ cup red onion, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Add the sweet potatoes to a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Toss until the sweet potato is well-coated in the spices, then spread out evenly. Bake for 15 minutes, or until tender.
  • In a small bowl, add the pumpkin seeds, chili powder, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and salt, and mix until well-combined. Spread the pumpkin seeds out on a baking sheet so they're not touching each other.

  • Add the quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, red onion, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with tahini dressing and toss well.
  • Serve with more dressing if desired.
  • Enjoy!
