Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato & Quinoa
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup quinoa (uncooked)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided)
Toppings
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup fresh berries
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes to ensure even roasting and quicker cooking.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, drizzle the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and half of the ground cinnamon, then toss thoroughly to coat the cubes evenly.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to get an even caramelization and tender texture.
- Cook the Quinoa: While the sweet potatoes roast, rinse the quinoa thoroughly. Cook it according to package instructions (generally simmering in water for 15 minutes until fluffy) and set aside once done.
- Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, place a layer of cooked quinoa as the base, then add a generous portion of the roasted sweet potatoes on top.
- Add Yogurt and Toppings: Spoon Greek yogurt over the sweet potatoes, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with chopped walnuts and fresh berries for added flavor and texture.
- Final Touch: Dust the assembled bowl with the remaining ground cinnamon for a warm, aromatic finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious breakfast bowl!
Notes
- You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if preferred.
- Use any seasonal berries available – strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries all work well.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and replace honey with maple syrup.
- Sweet potatoes can be roasted in advance and reheated before assembling for quicker breakfast prep.
- Adjust seasoning and honey amount to taste.
