BAKED SWEET POTATO, QUINOA & PEANUT BUTTER BOWL (gluten-free, dairy-free)

---

BAKED SWEET POTATO W/ QUINOA + PEANUT BUTTER

Peanut butter sauce drizzled over baked sweet potato, quinoa, and veggies

This is such a simple dinner bowl recipe, but it’s really a delicious and fun way to spice up your regular vegetable dinner. I love making this for a quick dinner, especially if I’ve meal prepped (pre-baked) the sweet potato beforehand – then I just have to heat that up and throw it in! The quinoa, vegetables and peanut butter sauce are always really quick to throw together.

This recipe is dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan and super yummy!

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do!

RECIPE

-Sweet potato (200-300g per serving)
-Cooked quinoa (1/2 cup cooked per serving)
-1 cup broccoli florets
-1/2 cup sliced zucchini
-1/2 cup sliced button mushroom
-1/4 medium red bell pepper
-1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

(SERVES ONE, double recipe to serve more)

♥

INGREDIENTS (PEANUT BUTTER SAUCE):

-1 Tablespoon peanut butter
-1/2 Tablespoon coconut vinegar/ rice vinegar
-1/2 teaspoon olive oil
-2 to 3 Tablespoons water
-Pinch onion powder
-Salt and pepper
(SERVES ONE, double recipe to serve more)

METHOD

DIRECTIONS:

-Preheat your oven to about 360-380 F (180-190 C)
-Halve the sweet potatoes, place on a baking tray (lined with baking paper) and bake for 40-60 minutes (or as needed until soft inside)
-Slice the bell pepper, mushroom and zucchini and add to a baking tray (lined with baking paper) for 20-30 minutes (or as needed) with the broccoli florets, oregano, salt and pepper
-I also add a quick squeeze of lime juice to the vegetables for flavor, and a quick spray of cooking oil spray before cooking
-Cook the quinoa on the stove with water (I usually cook a larger batch at a time for meal prep, and cook 1 cup of quinoa with 2-3 cups of water as needed for about 15-20 minutes)
-Mix the peanut butter in a small bowl with the vinegar, olive oil, onion powder, salt and pepper
-Add 1 Tablespoon of water at a time to make the mix more saucy (I usually end up adding about 2-3 Tablespoons)
-Once everything is cooked, serve the quinoa and veggies in a bowl and then add the baked sweet potato
-Add a small squeeze of lime/ lemon juice over the quinoa and veggies if you’d like (for extra flavor)
-Drizzle the peanut butter sauce on top (over the sweet potato, quinoa and vegetables)
-Serve fresh and enjoy!
