Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 0.5 cup quinoa in 1 cup water with a pinch of salt until fluffy, about 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, peel and dice the sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and salt, then roast at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until tender and browned.

  3. Step 3

    Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Pat dry, toss with 1 tsp olive oil and salt, and roast alongside the sweet potato for 15 minutes until crispy.

  4. Step 4

    Massage the kale with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt until wilted, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Divide the kale between two bowls, top with quinoa, sweet potato, chickpeas, a squeeze of lemon, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
