1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Spread beets on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for ~40 minutes or until softened and slightly caramelized. 2. If cooking quinoa, put it on while beets roast. 3. In a food processor, combine walnuts, nutritional yeast and about 1 tsp of sea salt. Pulse until it turns into a fine crumb. Set aside. 4. In the same food processor, combine tahini, onion, cumin, peppercorns, a pinch of salt and apple cider vinegar. Blend until combined, then add 1/2 tbsp of water at a time, continuing to blend, until it reaches a slightly runny consistency. You want it thin enough to be able to pour. 5. Once beets are cooked, portion out quinoa, top with beets, vegan cheese and a drizzle of dressing. Serve.
