Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (half of the total 1 teaspoon)
Quinoa
- 1 cup quinoa (uncooked)
Toppings
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup fresh berries
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (remaining half)
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking and roasting.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: Place sweet potato cubes in a mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and half of the ground cinnamon. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through to ensure even browning and tenderness.
- Cook Quinoa: While the sweet potatoes roast, rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook it according to package instructions, usually boiling in water until fluffy and water is absorbed.
- Assemble Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a layer of cooked quinoa, then add a generous portion of the roasted sweet potatoes on top.
- Add Toppings: Spoon Greek yogurt over the sweet potatoes. Drizzle with honey, then sprinkle chopped walnuts and fresh berries evenly across the bowl.
- Finish and Serve: Dust the assembled bowls with the remaining ground cinnamon for an aromatic touch and enjoy your wholesome breakfast bowl.
