1

Heat oven to 425°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
2

Place sweet potatoes on baking sheet. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper; toss to coat. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes, until just tender.
3

In large bowl, mix kale with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to thoroughly coat. Place on top of roasted sweet potatoes; continue to bake 3 to 4 minutes or until wilted.
4

Meanwhile, rinse quinoa well in mesh strainer; add to 2-quart saucepan with broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to simmer. Cover; cook 18 to 23 minutes or until all of the broth is absorbed. Remove from heat; let stand about 5 minutes before fluffing with fork.
