Roasted Vegetables
Base and Greens
Golden Tahini Dressing

Equipment

  • Large rimmed baking sheet
  • Medium saucepan
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Add cauliflower florets and carrots to a large rimmed baking sheet. Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper; toss well to coat.
  2. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until crisp and caramelized.
  3. Meanwhile, combine quinoa and broth in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and gently simmer for 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
  4. Remove lid and stir in kale and remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve. The residual heat will wilt and soften the kale.
  5. Prepare Golden Tahini Dressing by combining tahini, vinegar, maple syrup, chili garlic sauce, curry powder, turmeric, and salt in a bowl; stir well. Gradually whisk in water in 1 Tbsp increments until sauce is smooth, and desired consistency is achieved. You typically use 3 to 4 Tbsp, depending on how runny the tahini is.
  6. Assemble bowls by dividing quinoa and kale mixture evenly between four bowls. Scatter roasted veggies overtop, and divide avocado slices evenly. Drizzle with Golden Tahini Dressing, and sprinkle pumpkin seeds overtop (1 Tbsp. per bowl). Finish by garnishing each bowl with chopped parsley.
