Roasted Sweet Potato and Quinoa Salad

Created by: Howcan Team

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
