15 -
1/4 cup tahini, well-stirred
16 -
1 Tbsp sherry vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
17 -
1 Tbsp maple syrup
18 -
2 tsp chili garlic sauce
19 -
1/2 tsp curry powder
20 -
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
21 -
1/4 tsp kosher salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 425°F. Place cauliflower florets and carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper; toss well to coat. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until crisp and caramelized.
02 -
Combine quinoa and vegetable 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.
03 -
Remove lid from quinoa and stir in chopped kale and remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve. The residual heat will wilt and soften the kale.
04 -
Combine tahini, vinegar, maple syrup, chili garlic sauce, curry powder, turmeric, and salt in a bowl; stir well. Gradually whisk in 3-4 Tbsp water in 1 Tbsp increments until sauce is smooth and reaches desired consistency.
05 -
Divide quinoa and kale mixture evenly between four bowls. Arrange roasted vegetables on top and place avocado slices along the side. Drizzle with Golden Tahini Dressing, sprinkle with pumpkin seeds (1 Tbsp per bowl), and garnish with chopped parsley.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, ensure tahini is well-stirred before measuring for a smoother dressing.
02 -
The vegetables can be roasted ahead of time and reheated before serving for meal prep convenience.
