How to Make Nutritious Delicious Autumn Glow Quinoa Bowls

  • In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and garlic until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Stir in the diced sweet potato and let it cook for about 10 minutes, until tender.
  • Toss in the kale and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season with smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, gently mix the cooked quinoa with your sautéed vegetable medley. Add fresh lemon juice and parsley.
  • Dish out the quinoa bowls, garnishing with optional feta cheese and pumpkin seeds for added crunch and zest.
