Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
3 sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, or more to taste
salt to taste
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 cup asparagus, or more to taste
4 cups water
2 cups quinoa
1 cup cashews

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes and salt; stir to coat sweet potatoes with oil and saute until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Transfer sweet potatoes to a plate and season with more salt.
  • Saute onion and garlic in the same skillet until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add asparagus, cover, and steam until tender, about 4 minutes. Cut asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Toss sweet potatoes, onion-garlic mixture, asparagus, and quinoa together in a bowl; cool to room temperature. Add cashews and top with more olive oil and salt.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of quinoa, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The roasted vegetables and avocado really helped to balance out the flavor of the quinoa.

I love that this recipe is customizable. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I added some black beans for extra protein and some chopped cilantro for freshness.
