Golden Tahini Dressing:
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Add cauliflower florets and carrots to a large rimmed baking sheet. Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper; toss well to coat.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until crisp and caramelized.
- Combine quinoa and broth in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and gently simmer for 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
- Remove lid and stir in kale and remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Prepare Golden Tahini Dressing by combining tahini, vinegar, maple syrup, chili garlic sauce, curry powder, turmeric, and salt in a bowl; stir well.
- Assemble bowls by dividing quinoa and kale mixture evenly between four bowls. Scatter roasted veggies overtop, and divide avocado slices evenly.
- Drizzle with Golden Tahini Dressing, and sprinkle pumpkin seeds overtop. Finish by garnishing each bowl with chopped parsley.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: Chop all of the veggies up to 3 days in advance and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Store: Store leftover quinoa and veggies separately from the tahini dressing for best results.
- Reheat: Transfer the quinoa mixture and veggies to a microwave-safe bowl and nook in 30-second intervals until warm.
