I’m not sure if anyone can love sweet potato as much as I do. Put it together with quinoa and some other yummy veggies and I’m in a cloud of joy! This recipe is super simple and is packed full of delicious veggies and spices. The best part is that it’s vegan and gluten free!

Cook Time: 20 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 2-4

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Cooked Quinoa
• 1 Sweet Potato
• 1/2 head of Broccoli
• 6 Okra spears sliced
• 2 Large mushrooms sliced
• 1 Red bell pepper sliced
• 1/2 White onion sliced
• 3 Cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 tbsp Vegan butter
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 1 tsp Maple syrup

Spices

• 1 tbsp fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1 tsp Garam masala
• 1/2 tsp Dill weed
• 1/2 tsp Chili powder
• pepper to taste

 

1. Before anything else, start cooking the quinoa. It should be fully cooked when finished with everything else.
2. Cut the sweet potato and broccoli into bite sized chunks and steam them for about 10 minutes or until tender.
3. Heat 1 tbsp of sesame oil on a pan at medium – low heat. Add the garlic, onion, okra, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Let sit with a lid, stir occasionally.
4. After the broccoli and sweet potato are tender enough to poke with a fork, add them to the main pan.
5. Add the soy sauce, maple syrup, and spices.
6. Mix the vegan butter into the quinoa when it has finished cooking.

Optional:

Depending on your preference, you can mix the quinoa into the pan with the veggies or you can leave it separate. Whichever you choose, the food is ready!
