Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes, and prep the brussel sprouts two ways: half quartered for roasting and half thinly shredded to have raw.
- Toss the cubed sweet potatoes and the quartered brussel sprouts with the neutral oil, kosher salt, paprika, and black pepper.
- Put them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes.
- While that goes, prep the vinaigrette.
- Whisking vigorously, add the dijon mustard and lemon juice to the extra virgin olive oil; this will create an emulsification.
- Season it and reserve it for later.
- In a medium sized pot, bring two cups of stock to a boil.
- Add 1 cup of the Bob’s Red Mill Tri-Color Quinoa as well as some extra virgin olive oil.
- Give it a quick stir, cover with a lid, and reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes.
- After that, turn off the heat and let it rest for five minutes, covered.
- While the quinoa simmers, lightly toast the pepitas in a pan over medium-low heat, being careful so as not to burn them.
- Season with salt if you desire, and reserve.
- Ultimately, by the time the vegetables are finished roasting everything else should be finished!
- Fluff the quinoa and add ¾ of the vinaigrette and toss together.
- In a bowl or plate, add a big scoop of the quinoa, followed by the raw brussel sprouts, then the roasted vegetables, goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, and the pepitas.
- Add any additional vinaigrette on top and enjoy!
