Instructions
Preparing the Autumn Harvest Bowl with Maple Tahini Dressing can be done by following these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Squash and Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced butternut squash and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon until evenly coated.
3. Roast Vegetables: Spread the mixture in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Cook Quinoa: While the vegetables roast, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
5. Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary. Season with salt to taste.
6. Prepare Greens: In a large serving bowl or platter, place the chopped kale and shredded carrots as a base.
7. Assemble Bowl: Once the roasted vegetables are ready, layering them over the greens. Add the cooked quinoa and sprinkle with dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds.
8. Drizzle Dressing: Generously drizzle the maple tahini dressing over the entire bowl, ensuring a generous coating on all ingredients.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the bowl and adjust seasoning or dressing as needed.
