Ingredients

Bowl Base

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 lb), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (5 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 large bunch kale, stemmed and torn into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups)
1 cup uncooked white quinoa
2 cups Progresso™ vegetable broth (from 32-oz carton)

Tahini-Yogurt Sauce

3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt

Toppings

1 can (19 oz) Progresso™ chick peas, drained, rinsed
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup toasted pepitas
Harissa sauce, as desired

Steps

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.
5

In medium bowl, using whisk, beat Tahini-Yogurt Sauce ingredients.
6

Divide quinoa among 4 serving bowls. Top with sweet potatoes and kale, chick peas, avocado and pepitas.
7

Serve with tahini-yogurt sauce and harissa sauce on the side.
