Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Quinoa + Red Lettuce
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 5 tbsp total extra-virgin olive oil (divided for potato and dressing)
- 1 cup dried quinoa, rinsed under cold water
- 1/2 bunch red leaf lettuce, sliced
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup goat cheese feta
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange sweet potatoes on the baking sheet, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and roast until golden and tender, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine quinoa and 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes more. Scoop quinoa onto a paper towel-lined baking sheet to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine quinoa, sweet potatoes, red leaf lettuce, and cranberries.
- In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad, tossing gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper and stir in feta just before serving.
