How To Make Roasted Sweet Potato & Quinoa Salad [Vegan]
- Preheat the oven to 210C, then line a large baking tray. In a mixing bowl, toss together your sweet potato cubes with a drizzle of oil, along with the paprika and sea salt and black pepper to taste. Place on the baking tray and roast for 15 minutes, before turning and roasting for a further 10-15 minutes, or until crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. Set aside.
- In the meantime, make your tahini dressing by whizzing all ingredients together in a small processor (alternatively, just mix with a fork!).
- Add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency, then season to taste.
- Make your salad by tossing together the cooked quinoa, spinach, rocket, avocado, pomegranate, chopped parsley and cooked sweet potato. Serve warm or cold, drizzled with tahini dressing.
