Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
3 sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, or more to taste
salt to taste
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 cup asparagus, or more to taste
4 cups water
2 cups quinoa
1 cup cashews

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes and salt; stir to coat sweet potatoes with oil and saute until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Transfer sweet potatoes to a plate and season with more salt.
  • Saute onion and garlic in the same skillet until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add asparagus, cover, and steam until tender, about 4 minutes. Cut asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Toss sweet potatoes, onion-garlic mixture, asparagus, and quinoa together in a bowl; cool to room temperature. Add cashews and top with more olive oil and salt.

This quinoa bowl was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder.

This quinoa bowl was a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken from dinner the night before, and it was perfect in this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the quinoa turned out mushy. I think I overcooked it.
