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:
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.
