Description

This sweet potato quinoa bowl is a nourishing vegetarian recipe made with wholesome ingredients. It’s creamy and filling and a one-pot meal perfect for busy weeknights. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil⠀
  • 1/2 large onion, chopped⠀
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme⠀
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder⠀
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 3 cups reduced sodium vegetable broth ⠀
  • 3 cups organic sweet potato (about 2 large sweet potatoes), peeled and cut into small cubes
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese⠀
  • 3 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a medium size pot over medium heat. Add onion, thyme and garlic powder and cook until onions are slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add quinoa and allow to cook, stirring constantly, for approximately 2 minutes.
  2. Turn the heat to medium-high. Add broth, sweet potato, salt and pepper. Stir constantly and allow to simmer until broth is nearly completely dissolved and sweet potato begins to break down. Use a wooden spoon to help crush any large chunks of sweet potato so it becomes creamy and stir continuously. (This whole process should take 15-20 minutes.) It’s okay if some chunks of sweet potato remain but you want it to be mostly creamy and dissolved and super-thick.
  3. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Add spinach and stir until leaves are wilted. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
  4. Divide into bowls and top with additional Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
