Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Start by making the quinoa. Boil the broth, olive oil, and salt in a medium size pot on high heat. Stir in the quinoa and bring the broth back to a boil. Cover with a lid, and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 15 minutes.
- While the quinoa is cooking prepare the sweet potatoes. Place a piece of parchment down on a large baking sheet. Spread the diced sweet potatoes onto the sheet, and pour the olive oil on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle on the salt, pepper, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the potatoes around on the pan, then spread them out in a single layer. Bake for 25 minute.
- For the kale heat up 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 8 cups of kale (it will wilt down). Then toss in the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (optional) ,and lemon. Saute the kale down for about 10 minutes.
- Once all of the component are finished toss 1 cup of the quinoa (keep the rest for other recipes!), sweet potatoes, kale, black beans, and pine nuts all together. Divide them into your meal prep containers and enjoy throughout the week!
Notes
*Use up the quinoa leftovers in salads, rice dishes, or burritos! It will stay good for about a week refrigerated.
