  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 44 minute

Ingredients

– 1 cup quinoa (or farro, barley, or your choice of grain)
– 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
– 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
– 1 cup kale, chopped
– 1 red onion, cut into wedges
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– ½ cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed (optional)
– ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (or sunflower seeds)
– ¼ cup dried cranberries (optional)


Instructions

Creating the Autumn Harvest Bowl with Maple Tahini Dressing is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to bring your bowl to life:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cook Grain: In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add quinoa, and a pinch of salt. Lower heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Set aside.
3. Prepare Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, toss butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and onion wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
4. Roast Vegetables: Spread the vegetable mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden and tender, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
5. Sauté Kale: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the chopped kale until wilted. This should take about 5 minutes.
6. Make Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, water, and salt until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary.
7. Combine Ingredients: In a large serving bowl, layer the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, sautéed kale, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, and cranberries.
8. Dress the Bowl: Drizzle with maple tahini dressing over the top.
9. Toss and Serve: Lightly toss all ingredients to combine and ensure every bite gets a taste of that amazing dressing.
