Ingredients:
For the Bowl:
- 1 medium sweet potato, chopped (about 1 ¾ cup)
- 1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup quinoa
- 1 cup water
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and chopped
- 1/4 cup pickled red onions
Avocado Tahini Dressing (Makes extra):
- 1/2 large avocado
- 1/4 cup tahini
- Juice from 1 lemon (2 tablespoons)
- 3/4 cups water
- 1 Tbsp. fresh chives
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the chopped sweet potato to a baking sheet. Spray with cooking oil, then add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Toss to coat in spices. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until tender.
- In a medium saucepan, add the quinoa and water. Bring to a simmer and cover, cooking for 12-15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and fluffy.
- Fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Use a slotted spoon to lower eggs into the water. Cook for 8 minutes then transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool before peeling.
- Add the dressing ingredients to a small blender and puree until smooth. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed, to thin until pourable.
- Assemble the bowls, each with ½ a sweet potato, ½ cup quinoa, 1 egg, 1 cup arugula, ½ an avocado, 2 tablespoons pickled red onion and 3 tablespoons of dressing.
Notes & Tips:
To make preparation easier in the mornings, you can prepare all the different elements of this bowl in advance (roast the potatoes, make the quinoa, boil the eggs, and blend the dressing) and store in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat.
For quick pickled red onions, place thinly sliced onions in a jar, covering with apple cider vinegar and a dash of salt. Let sit 30 minutes before using and store in refrigerator.
