Ingredients
  1. 2 cups Brussel sprouts, chopped
  2. 1 small red onion (about 1 cup), cut into wedges
  3. 2 cups broccoli, chopped
  4. 2 cups cauliflower, chopped
  5. 2 medium orange or Japanese sweet potatoes (about 4 cups), diced
  6. ½ cup dry quinoa
  7. 3 cups cooked black beans (or 2 cans of BPA free, salt-free beans, rinsed)
  8. Cilantro (optional)
  9. Chopped unsalted peanuts (optional)
Sauce
  1. 1/3 cup peanut butter
  2. 2/3 cup water
  3. 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, minced
  4. 2 dates, pits removed
  5. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  6. ½ teaspoon paprika
  7. Cayenne pepper, to taste
  8. Black pepper, to taste
  9. 1 tablespoon white miso paste, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Wash and prep the veggies. Place the Brussel sprouts, red onion, broccoli, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes on baking sheets. The broccoli will likely be done cooking within 15 minutes, the Brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, and cauliflower will likely take about 30 minutes. Stir the veggies often to keep them from burning and help keep them from burning.
  2. Prepare the quinoa by combining 1/2 cup dry quinoa with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer for about 15 minutes on low. Add a little more water if the quinoa looks like it’s drying up and not all the way cooked.
  3. In a high speed blender, combine the peanut butter, water, ginger, dates, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and white miso paste. Blend until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl (preferably heat safe), combine the roasted veggies, the cooked quinoa, black beans, and the sauce. Stir until well combined. Serve warm or cold. Add chopped peanuts and cilantro, if desired when serving. Enjoy!
