Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200°C/400°F. Toss sweet potato with oil and salt and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  2. Cook quinoa in water according to its package, adjusting the ratio if needed. Fluff and let stand for 5 minutes.
  3. Toss quinoa with spinach, sweet potato and lemon juice. Finish with pumpkin seeds.
A little note

Use small sweet potato cubes so the roasting and grain cooking finish close together.

Cooking tips

  • Spread sweet potato in one layer and turn pieces so their edges brown evenly.
  • Fluff quinoa before folding it into the salad, and add pumpkin seeds last for a crisp finish.
