  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 2 limes, juiced

Instructions

1

Cook Quinoa

Boil quinoa in salted water for 12-15 minutes until the 'tails' pop out. Drain and fluff with a fork.

Roast Veggies

Toss sweet potato and bell pepper with olive oil and salt. Roast at 200°C for 20-25 minutes until caramelized.

3

Whisk Dressing

Combine tahini, lime juice, honey, and olive oil. Whisk until creamy. Add water if it's too thick.

4

Combine

In a large bowl, toss the quinoa with roasted vegetables and half the dressing.

Toppings

Gently fold in the diced avocado and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with remaining dressing.

6

Top with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds for extra crunch.
